Students and residents across Herefordshire are being given the chance to take part in an arts competition aimed at celebrating the best of Herefordshire and Great Britain in 2012.

The competition is being run as part of the county’s celebrations for the Olympic and Paralympic Games in London and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and winners could see their work displayed in prominent places and at significant events across the county.

Organised by the Raising Our Game Partnership, the competition is open to all residents of Herefordshire and those studying within the county. Individuals can choose to enter one or both themes.

For the Olympic and Paralympic theme entries should be based on a visual interpretation of one or more of the Olympic and Paralympic values (excellence, friendship, respect, courage, determination, quality and inspiration) and how they relate to Herefordshire and/or Great Britain. They can reflect any number of topics such as community spirit, culture, sport, Herefordshire icons or the Olympic Torch as it passes through Herefordshire.

The theme of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee (1952 to 2012), is seeking to celebrate the Jubilee across Herefordshire and Great Britain.

All entries must be graphic works such as paintings, drawings, photography or be computer-generated and should be flat to the surface, on A3 or A4 sized paper or canvas and should not include excessive text or replication of a recognised logo, including the logo for London 2012.

Councillor Olwyn Barnett, chairman of Herefordshire Council, said: “This year is going to be one of big celebrations with first the Olympic Torch Relay crossing the county. I hope as many residents as possible will enter this competition so their creativity can be showcased and the rest of the country can see what talented people we have.”

The competition will close at 4pm on Thursday 12^th April 2012 to allow for judging, printing and hanging of the material prior to the summer of celebrations.
