Margaret McMillan Tower / Sir Henry Mitchell House Open Day Art Competition

We are pleased to announce a new competition to celebrate the official opening of the new Department of Children’s Services Buildings, Margaret McMillan Tower and Sir Henry Mitchell House on 1 March 2016.

The competition has three different aspects and schools or individuals can enter all or one of the parts. All three are designed to encourage young people to understand the significance of our district’s history, in this case the two historical figures after whom the new buildings are named.

Visual Art

Produce a 2D or 3D piece representing Margaret McMillan or Sir Henry Mitchell, the person or art work representing what they stood for. This can be done in any medium and be of any size.

Literacy

Produce a piece of writing, which when read aloud, lasts no longer than 3 minutes. This can be on the biography, legacy or creative writing inspired by the spirit of one of the two individuals.

Film

Produce a short film on the subject or inspired by one of the historical figures.

All students will need to do some research to enable them to enter any part of the competition.

To aid this, Bradford Libraries will be putting on a display prepared by Bradford Local History Society.
