Surrey School Games launch creative arts competition

P&G Surrey School Games hopes to follow last year’s Olympic success with a sport inspired art, creative writing and photography competition.

The contest is open to seven to 16 year olds who are asked to create work inspired by the spirit of the Games values, which are respect, self belief, determination, honesty, passion, teamwork.

Last year more than 700 entries were received for an Olympic inspired creative writing competition. This year’s contest closes on 26 April. Entries should be sent to kay.swygart@surreycc.gov.uk

P&G Surrey School Games was launched in March 2011 and has seen thousands of children take part in a variety of activities including team sports, the arts and even engineering.
