This colouring competition entry was given to Paul Fairless from a child called Jimmy H. at Guy House, Kimberley Centre Levin, a facility for people with intellectual disabilities. Paul visited the centre to judge the competition.

Paul Fairless began his career as a cadet at Radio 2ZA. As the most junior, he got the job of dressing up in a mouse costume, which he recalls as being very hot and uncomfortable. Paul wore the costume for Radio 2ZA outings in the community in the 1970s and early 1980s. The colours of the costume were different from this competition entry.
