BES students keen to make a start on their clean air designs for the Filtermist project<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Artists from Bridgnorth Endowed are vying for a prime spot on the walls of a large international company as part of an exciting art challenge that was launched in school on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local manufacturer, Filtermist International Limited, who previously worked with BES on an entry for the town\u2019s train trail, approached the art department to invite students to submit designs that capture what clean air means to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Director of Group Marketing, Lydia Barber\u200b, said: \u201cWe\u2019re looking for some original artwork to hang at our headquarters in Telford that depicts clean air as this is essentially what our products provide.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe sometimes struggle to communicate this visually so we thought it would be interesting to run a competition for students to bring their ideas to life and brighten up some of our plain white walls.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With perfect timing, the competition winners are set to be announced on National Clean Air Day, which this year takes place on 16th June and focuses on how air pollution can impact every organ in everybody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lydia explained: \u201cAs a business, we try to support Clean Air Day every year and we thought this would be a good chance to get young people thinking about the environment and in particular, air quality.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students are encouraged to let their imaginations soar as they produce designs in any format, using any media, to try to show what it means and how it feels to breathe clean air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Art teacher, Mrs Rhodes, said: \u201cThis is going to be a fantastic project for our students to be involved in, working alongside a company and having their artwork displayed at its headquarters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have some very talented artists, and this will be a great opportunity for them to showcase their skills, as well as representing the school and strengthening our links with Filtermist.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The closing date for entries is on Monday 16th May and there are between four and six places up for grabs with prizes for the overall winner and runners-up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
