BNT & Sompo Launch Student Art Competition
The Bermuda National Trust and Sompo International are launching their 4th annual Student Art Competition, under a theme of ‘Worth Protecting’.
“We are excited to invite Bermuda’s young people to use their artistic talents to show aspects of Bermuda’s natural and cultural heritage that they think are worth protecting. Hopefully the theme will inspire students to think about the special aspects of Bermuda that they love the most and perhaps would like their own children to be able to enjoy one day. We want to encourage an appreciation of the value of Bermuda’s heritage,” said Anna Stevenson, Heritage Education Manager at BNT.
The spokesperson said, “Entries can be in the form of drawing, painting, sculpture, multimedia, collage, photography, and digital art . The competition is divided into two age groups: 9 to 12 years old, and 13 to 18 years old, with cash prizes for the top three entries in each category chosen by a panel of independent judges. Entries must be delivered to the Bermuda National Trust office, Waterville, 2 Pomander Road by 5pm on Friday 1st November 2024.
“Entry forms and information on prizes and competition rules can be found at www.bnt.bm.
“The winners will be announced on Friday 22 November. They will be invited to an awards ceremony at BNT’s office, Waterville, where the winning artwork will be displayed prior to being exhibited in the reception of SOMPO International’s offices. The artwork will also be featured on the Bermuda National Trust’s website.”
