I'm judging a Humanist design contest and thought some people on this online community might be interested. I think the holiday of HumanLight is a fantastic idea, particularly for families, because it is a non-cynical and explicitely Humanist approach to the holiday season that is such a big hubbub in the USA and many other countries. Anyway, here is the contest announcement:
AHA-IHEYO has just issued its first e-bulletin. from now on, this newsletter will give a regular update of the activities of what was formerly known as the Asian Working Group of IHEYO, but has now become AHA-IHEYO.

Cette déclaration a été adoptée, à l'unanimité, par le XVIème congrès international de l'Union Internationaliste Humaniste et Laïque (IHEU).
Le congrès s'est tenu à Paris du 5 au 7 juillet 2005 pour commémorer
le centième anniversaire de la loi française de séparation des Eglises
et de l'Etat du 9 décembre 1905.
The values underlying the Human Rights are very important to Humanism.
The first directors of UNESCO (Julian Huxley), FAO (John Boyd Orr) and
WHO (G. Brock Chisholm) were all prominent Humanists. Many Humanist
principles have already found expression in international human rights
conventions; Humanists have always supported the Universal Declaration
of Human Rights.
