Ecko sponsors graffiti art contest in Saudi Arabia

Wow, what a surprising development. Not only will one of the most uptight societies in the world have a public graffiti event, but girls will be allowed to participate. Girls are not even allowed to go to school with boys there. Outside the home they must cover themselves completely except for their eyes.

"So far nearly 80 young men and women have registered to compete. 'Most likely we will let girls participate, since half of the applicants are females,' said Kareem Al-Haratani, marketing manager of Ecko brand."
