NOTABLE WOMEN OF THE REIGN OF QUEEN VICTORIA.
HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN.
All rights reserved. ]
THE SUBJECT OF OUR NEXT COMPETITION IS TO BE The Notable Women of the reign of Queen Victoria.
Of these, each competitor will make out a list for herself, and regarding those whom she selects, she will be required to state, briefly and clearly, who they were, when and where they were born, and when and where they died—if they be dead—and to give such particulars about what they have done as will prove their right to the title of notable women.
Eleven prizes will be given, one to the most successful competitor of every age from thirteen to twenty-three, inclusive. Thus, a girl thirteen years old has a chance of obtaining the prize awarded to girls between thirteen and fourteen; a girl of fourteen may prove the winner of the prize given to those between fourteen and fifteen: and so on, up to the age of twenty-three.
Each prize will consist of
A Gold Medal-Brooch
To be especially struck by the Editor in honour of Her Majesty’s Jubilee. These medals will be cast in the form of brooches, with a pin at the back for more convenient use. They have been specially designed for The Girl’s Own Paper, and will bear on the reverse of the medal the name of the owner. The front side of the medal will bear the design, conventionally treated, of the heading to every weekly number of this magazine.
