Students' Opportunity To Show Off Their Part Of The World Through ‘Wall Worthy’ Competition

What better way to show off New Zealand to the rest of the world, than with our own depictions of paradise designed by students from around the country? Keep New Zealand Beautiful are always looking for ways to inspire schools students to get involved and take pride in their local community, and in Term Two Keep New Zealand Beautiful is providing brilliant way for schools to do exactly that - by combing History, Art, Social Studies and Geography making a motivating and inspirational competition throughout the country.

Keep New Zealand Beautiful has launched its “Wall Worthy” mural competition at www.knzb.org.nz and hopes to see many entries from schools before July 15 2011. The main idea is to get students submitting ideas/designs on what makes their community “Wall Worthy”.

Rather than the usual graffiti vandalism you tend to see in communities which defaces property and diminishes community pride, KNZB is trying hard to eliminate this by inspiring students to think about what they’re proudest about in their community which sets it apart from anywhere else in the country, in turn filling students minds and communities with images of positivity and mana.

A winning mural design from each region will be selected during Keep New Zealand Beautiful Week (20-27 August) and then brought to life by students in their own community with paint from Resene. KNZB also has great prizes from Panasonic along the way for designs and ideas which stand out amongst the crowd.

For everything you need to know about Keep New Zealand Beautiful’s “Wall Worthy” competition visit www.knzb.org.nz today and get your students onboard because we want a nation inspired to Keep New Zealand Beautiful!
