City status schools competition
Tower Hamlets youngsters will have a chance to get their hands
on a pair of tickets to the Olympic Games, thanks to a competition
launched as part of the borough’s city status campaign.
Launched by the Mayor of Tower Hamlets, the
competition involves schoolchildren drawing their favourite place
in Tower Hamlets from the 50 landmarks that are included in the
borough’s city status bid document.
Amongst the landmarks are some of London and
the world’s most well known sights such as Brick Lane, Tower of
London and Canary Wharf. There are also landmarks cherished by the
local community like Victoria Park, Whitechapel Bell Foundry and
Columbia Road Flower Market.
As well as winning themselves a pair of
tickets to the Olympic Games, the winner will also have their
design framed and put on public display. The winning design will
also be put into the archives along with other information and
materials from the city status campaign.
The competition is open to anyone studying at
Tower Hamlets primary and secondary schools (including sixth forms)
and the deadline for entries is 5pm on January 20.
Further information
A Q&A
document has been prepared to provide more information about
the competition and answer any questions people may have.
Anyone interested in entering the competition
can view images of the 50 landmarks in the
official city status bid document.
A list of the 50 landmarks included in the document is also
available here,
whilst many of the landmarks can be viewed from
the council's Flickr site. Remember, your entry does not have
to look the same as the image in the bid document, it simply has to
represent one of the landmarks included.
