'HO has the best bus or coach rery in Britain? We will know December 6 when we publish [e results of our 1980 livery 3mpetition for passenger 3hicles.
CM launched this event three 3ars ago, and every year since le standard of vehicle livery has nproved. Many of those enterig our event have the touch of le professional designer showig through. Just as many are le creative brainchild of the perator, painter or driver.
The prizes do not always go to le mighty. In fact, the biggest ompanies in the country have ntered but have yet to win. What do the judges look for? A kice blend of colours and layout which does not intrude on the .nvironment. A form of words hat states the operator's case, ke "British and Continental our Operator telephone 23/4567". Use of lettering that s consistent with the body line. The rules are simple and the ntry fee is nominal.
We require: Four 35mm colour transparenies showing both sides, full rant and full rear views of the miry.
They should be accompanied py an official entry form (see this page) and a remittance of £5. They should reach this office io later than 12 noon on October 31, but we will accept entries handed to our receptionist up until 2pm on that day. Too many entries are spoiled through bad photography, so our advice is; use an experienced person for the photographic work. CM cannot supply a photographer.
Remember the judges are looking at the vehicle, not at the background, and they are quite unimpressed by any additional photographic aids.
If the weather is inclement, photographs taken inside a garage can be just as impressive as ones on the road — it's your livery the judges want to see.
The competition is open to operators, drivers, painters or designers; always with the owner's permission.
