Borough-wide Peace Art Competition!

Parents of Kashif Mahmood RIP and Wilson Chowdhry during construction of monument!

The EIBP has launched a boroughwide art competition that will see young peoples art designs incorporated into the Redbridge Peace Monument - installed to commemorate victims of knife crime and to highlight the futility of knife crime.

The competition  has been launched on BBC Asia Network, Premier Christian Radio, Sunrise Radio, Ilford Recorder and Yellow Advertiser. 

We will also provide a large trophy to every school participating,  that we hope will be used for internal annual art competitions on a similar theme. 

Judging the competition will be undertaken by Mayor of Ilford Cllr Cummins, Ann Oakes-Odger MBE (Knifecrimes.org), Parvin Mahmood (mother of slain teenager Kashif Mahmood) and Gray Drostle (monument Designer).

If you as an individual, group or school would like to participate please contact us for the rules and regulations and template for the design.

"The EIBP wanted to lead by example and promote peace in the borough by opening the year with a resolution to see through this challenge.  We hope that our art competition will inspire young people to think about the world around them and how to make it a better place."
