This came in from Brighton - I know that you might think it's out of your remit - but I don't see why you can't have a go - don't try and give them something that is 'expected' - take a risk and do something new and inventive - we have the facilities here to make up anything - so take a few risks.


STUDENT TROPHY COMPETITION

£500 PRIZE

The Golf Club, Royal Ashdown Forest, home of AA Milne and pooh sticks, wish to commission a new trophy called the Buckhurst Cup after Lord De La Warre who is a local landowner.
The trophy is to be a statue in the form of a deer or stag, which inhabit the forest. It needs to be modern but recognizable. Approximate size 10” high.

The competition is open to all students within the Faculty of the Arts.
Initial drawings and/or maquettes are to be submitted to Tina Fogarty in room G64, Grand Parade by Monday 31st October. The winning candidate would then have either

•    until early December to produce a model to be moulded and cast

£500 Commissioning Prize

•    or until mid January 2012 to produce a final piece with an additional fee of up to £500 for materials.
As RAFGC is one of the top 100 Golf Courses in the UK and is situated in
Sussex, the Club are keen to work with students from the University of Brighton.

The trophy will be presented at the Club's AGM and Annual Prize Giving to the First Winner by Lord De La Warre. The winning student would be invited to attend the event in honor for their work.

This is a fantastic opportunity to work on a prestigious live project with real clients, to earn money and build you CV’s.
