Antigua Sailing Week is thrilled to announce the launch of the 2022 School Art Competition sponsored by Harper\u2019s Office Depot.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The School Art competition which has run every year since 1968, is a simple and effective way to engage the interest of the nation\u2019s next generation of leaders about this national sporting and tourism event. And it can also be used to educate young people around the buzz worthy topics surrounding the industry such as the environment, economy and lifestyles.<\/p>\n

This year the brief asks the students to \u2018Illustrate the importance that the yachting & marine industry brings to Antigua & Barbuda\u201d. \u00a0Organisers are hoping that the theme will also encourage informative discussions in the classrooms, as well as between parents & children.<\/p>

Sailing and its ancillaries provides significant economic value to the community and not solely when Antigua Sailing Week is hosted\u201d, explains Rana Lewis, Event & Marketing Manager of event.<\/p>

\u201cThe sector is wide and varied, from luxury charters, leisure sailing, yacht racing, cruising, berthing and marinas and marine services and we would like to see that awareness of opportunities become commonplace. It\u2019s important that we continue to relay the importance and benefits of the yachting & marine industry while exciting and hopefully engaging local youth about the sport.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is the fourth year in which Harper\u2019s Office Depot has presented the School Art Competition, Roy Bento, owner confirms \u201d Harper\u2019s Office Depot is excited to once again partner with our friends at Antigua Sailing week to revive the School\u2019s Art Competition. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, which put a halt on the competition and Sailing Week as a whole, we recognize its importance, and hope that it continues to be not only an outlet for artistic expression, but an educational tool for the youth who participate.\u201d<\/p>
