olympics and art

While the world is awaiting the arrival of the 2012 Olympic Games in London this July 27th, the whole country is gearing up for the biggest sporting event in the world. From now to the end of the games, other non-sporting events inspired by the Olympics are held in the United Kingdom and the rest of the world. Sports will not be the only attraction as there will be plenty of cultural events, exhibitions, carnivals and performances covering art, books, dance, fashion, theatre, music, comedy and kids interests.

The London 2012 Cultural Olympiad is the largest cultural celebration in the history of the modern Olympic and Paralympic Movements. The culmination of the Cultural Olympiad is the London 2012 Festival, providing visitors opportunities to see free world-class events throughout the UK.

The British High Commission in Brunei Darussalam is launching a special Olympics-themed open art competition with the Brunei Art Forum. The competition is open to all residents of Brunei Darussalam aged 18 and above. Participants can send in original works of art in one or all three categories - Art, Sculpture and Photography. All entries must be created in line with the Olympic theme which is inspired by the spirit of the games - Determination, Respect, Courage, Equality, Friendship, Excellence and Inspiration.

The deadline for all art submissions is 15th May 2012. Artworks may be delivered to the Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka building in Bandar Seri Begawan on the 14th and 15th May between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Entry forms and details of terms and conditions of participation can be downloaded from Bruneions.com.
