Student Art 2018 Competition

LHR Amigo del Mar 2018 CompetitionAsociación Amigos del Mar (Friends of the Sea), based in La Herradura, just announced the Winners of the 2018 Student Art Competition. This year’s theme was Keep Our Sea Plastic Free.

Ann Jenkins, Creative Director of the Student Art Competition, announced that 98 entries were received from students at CEIP Las Gaviotas and IES Villanueva del Mar (both from La Herradura) and CEIP Las Maravillas (from Maro).

“It was incredible to see such a high level of participation from the students in our first year of the competition. We were pleasantly surprised to learn that a number of educators focused class room learning time on the issues around how to keep our sea plastic free and we would like to thank them for their support. It definitely made a huge impact based on the quality and quantity of the art that was submitted.”

Marisa Gonzalez Oteros, sponsor and owner of Sport’s Corner, told us “It was obvious that the kids were proud of their hard work and they happily shared a peek at their artwork with the staff when they came to drop off their submission.” Juan Rodriguez Moral, sponsor and owner of Burger Plaza told us “The kids are so excited that as a group they have a chance to be recognized for their involvement and that together they can achieved something.”

A jury committee was set up for each of the three schools and they met shortly after the competition closed to determine the winners. Jury members consisted of both Student Youth Ambassadors (Natasha Langley and Clara Ávila Alguacil) along with Community Representatives (Encarna Garciolo, Toñi Nieto Nieto, Renate van Nijen, Lucrecia Ruiz, Luis Schrave and Itziar Villar Campo) and members of the Amigos del Mar Steering Committee (Mel O’Gorman Davies and Rebecca Hvizdalek).
