Newtownabbey Borough Council Sports Awards Design

Tuesday

Following on from last year’s success, NRC Foundation Art and Design students have once again taken part in a competition to design a trophy for the 2014 prestigious Newtownabbey Borough Council sports awards. This year the winning design came from student Jennifer Wasson. Jennifer’s design was manufactured in college and is based on the concept of “blood sweat and tears” combined with the strong underlay image of the boxing glove showing both the determination and fight needed to succeed.

Jennifiers design is based on the concept of blood, sweat and tears combined with the stroght undelaying image of the boxing glove showing the power and strenght needed to Brenda Crotty, NRC Director of Planning and Customer Services at NRC is pictured handing the first trophy, the Hall of Fame trophy to be presented to Neil Sinclair to Councillor Pat McCudden and Alison Bennington from Newtownabbey Borough Council.
