A call to designers
This official notice states the conditions for entry into a design competition for 'certificates of service for New Zealand Expeditionary and Military Forces, 1914-1918'. It lists the particulars and conditions for the two classes - certificate for overseas service and certificate for home service.
In awarding the prizes, consideration was to be given to the conception of the picture rather than to its execution and detail. The guidelines also list the features to be incorporated in the design. The Minister of Defence selected prize-winners.
