A SWEET dream could come true for a lucky North Yorkshire youngster if they win a "tasty" competition.

Sweet manufacturer Haribo is looking for young experts to form part of its 2003 sweet tasting panel.

It is giving ten children the chance to taste sweets never seen before in this country and have their own sweet design manufactured.

Those who want to enter are being asked to write in no more than 100 words why they think they should be a Haribo sweet taster.

Entrants should also send a photograph of themselves along with a drawing of their perfect sweet - including shapes, colours and flavours.

The official panel will be treated to a day out at the American Adventure Theme Park on May 17.

All entries, including name, address and age, should be sent to The Haribo Ministry of Fun, Band & Brown Communications, 57 Jamestown Road, Camden, London, NW1 7DB. Entries should be in by May 2.
