Calling All Writers For The 2012 Olympic Games Sculpture Project

As part of the countdown to the 2012 Olympic Games, a special sculpture will be designed and created by the acclaimed British Sculptor, Donald Brown. The sculpture will be entitled A Sporting Chance For Peace. The BBC and other members of the press and media will follow the creation of the sculpture from beginning to end. The sculpture will feature a variety of sporting images and promote the many positive principles that are taught in sport, such as discipline, patience and respect.

National Tour
The sculpture will go on a national UK tour to ensure that members of the public will have an opportunity to place a small ‘Peace’ of clay onto the sculpture as part of the creative process and in support of promoting personal, social and environmental peace.

Olympic Athletes
Athletes arriving to compete in the 2012 Olympics and Paralympics will also have the opportunity to place their ‘Peace’ of clay onto the sculpture. The many thousands of portions of clay will be smoothed together as a sign of communities worldwide coming together to promote positive principle for peace through art and sport.

In partnership with the A Sporting Chance For Peace sculpture tour and to further engage the ongoing participation of the public nationwide, the Writing The Wrongs competition will be launched.
