Competition Details

FOLLOWING the success of the Safer Hastings Partnership’s (SHP) previous three Schools Competitions, the crime reduction organisation has now launched its second art competition.

The SHP’s ASB Art Competition 2008 invites local school and college students to illustrate antisocial behaviour issues with drawings, cartoons or computer graphics.

Depicting a variety of issues such as litter, graffiti, under-age drinking and noise nuisance, the winning entries will be printed in publicity materials for the SHP’s Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) Unit, starting with 5,000 leaflets about the consequences of ASB, along with the name of the artist and
his/her school. These leaflets will be used at local and national events, as well as being passed to the Home Office’s Youth Task Force.

The competition is open to students aged between 11 and 19 who attend secondary schools in Hastings & St Leonards, Hastings College or Bexhill College. There are two categories: one for secondary school pupils; the other for college/6th form students. The prizes in both categories are the same, with the winner bagging a PlayStation 3 for themselves and a digital camera for their school or college/6th form.

Second prize in both categories is an iPod Nano, while third prize is £50 high street shop vouchers.

There is no limit to the number of entries per pupil, but all artwork must be submitted on separate sheets of plain white A4 paper, portrait rather than landscape, with a blank background. All entries must be received prior to the deadline, which is 4.30pm on Friday 7th March 2008.

The Respect Hastings Art Competition will be judged by the Safer Hastings Partnership’s Community Safety Manager, ASB Unit and Communications Manager. The 15 short-listed secondary school pupils and 15 short-listed college/6th form students will be invited to attend the Awards Ceremony at Horntye Park at 6pm on Wednesday 19th March.

Artwork must depict ASB issues, which include (but are not limited to) graffiti, litter, under-age drinking, noise nuisance, fly-tipping, fly-posting, aggressive begging, groups loitering, street drinking, nuisance neighbours, dog-fouling and abandoned vehicles.

The winning artwork will be used in a leaflet featuring a ‘decision-tree’ showing the consequences of even small acts of anti-social behaviour, and how these can be far-reaching. The entrant’s name, age, address, school/college and academic year must be clearly written on the back of each entry. They should be submitted to: ASB Art Competition 2008, Natalie Williams, Safer Hastings Partnership, c/o Hastings Borough Council, 3rd Floor Aquila House, Breeds Place, Hastings, East Sussex, TN34 3UY.
