Competition: What colour should our taxis be - and why?

SMALL PRINT:The National Transport Authority has proposed that all taxis have the same colour but, open-mindedly, has not specified what it should be.

Now that sounds to us like an Irish Timesreaders poll waiting to happen.

So let us know the colour you think would be best for Irish taxis and the reasons you think it’s better than any other colour (in 100 words or fewer) and we’ll print the best-written ones. What the heck – it’s the holidays; we’ll even throw in a €100 book voucher for the best.

HOW? Email your favourite taxi colour and your 100-word argument for it, to taxicolour@irishtimes.com.

Marks given for passion, originality and humour. Closing date: Friday, 1st at 9am.
