INTERNET company Hughes Media is holding a competition for budding website designers.

Talented designers who are not already working for a professional website company, could win a week's work experience with Hughes Media, based in Orleton, near Worcester.

"It is important for local companies to support local talent because these are exactly the people you are looking to recruit in the future," said the company's Ed Hughes.

The brief is available on-line at: www.hughesmedia.co.uk/webdesigner from today onwards, or phone 0800 0523804. The closing date for entries is January 10, 2002.
