Thank you to all students who took the time to enter this
competition. We received 45 creative and imaginative original entries
from students ranging from Form I (age 12) to Form VI (age 18). Some
students produced excellent digital design projects, while others submitted
outstanding hand-drawn logos.
The entries were anonymised and an unbiased adjudication was
carried out by a judging panel which included representatives from the Board of
Governors, the Alumni & Friends Committee, parents and staff. Ten
designs have been shortlisted and are included here. To note, the winning design has been
identified in advance of the release of this magazine to protect the impartial
nature of the adjudication system, and will be announced by Ms. Storey at a
later date.
The winning student will then be invited to collaborate with
the school to create a final version of the temporary school logo. He /
she will be awarded a €100 gift certificate for Silkes Art & Crafts and
recognized at Prize Day in September 2020. The winning design may be
reproduced on school stationary, on the school website, on local media and on
school social media platforms during the 200th Anniversary year.
Special thanks go to Silkes Arts & Crafts, who are
sponsoring this design, and to Ms. Geraldine O’Brien for her involvement in the
competition and her ongoing encouragement and support of her Art
students.
It is important to note that, while there is only one
winner, all shortlisted designs may be shared on school social media and / or
used for other digital and print projects that may occur during the 200th
Anniversary.
