Telling the story of Tavistock – Competition
Tavistock Townscape Heritage Initiative have recently launched their competition to all local school children to tell the story of Tavistock in whatever medium they would like; poetry, art, drama or film. They are able to pick any period of history, with perhaps a focus on a person or people connected to the town.
Submissions can be from a group of up to four or as an individual and there are £1000 worth of IT prizes to be won from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
Teachers at schools are helping students develop their ideas with entries from Tavistock College to be submitted to Mr Wates, from Mount Kelly to Mr Brittain and entries from all other schools to be submitted to Mr Carl Hearn at Tavistock Town Council.
The closing day is 29th April when a panel of judges will decide on the winning entries. These will then be developed with the help of Plymouth University to digitize the story and place it on the ‘digital wall’ of Tavistock.
