The finals of the Blastbeat 2010 program took place at the O2 Arena yesterday as part of the Transformation Trust's 1st Birthday Party. Eight of our Year 11 students were involved in the competition with 65 other London schools all competing to be the best Social Enterprise Multimedia Company. Priscilla, Charlie, Siphosethu, Robert, Clark, Tanisha, Yousef and Deanna had to set up a stall in the main entrance of the O2 Arena promoting their company for the final round of judging worth 25% of the marks.
Harmony Beatz, Acton High School's company won the first prize of £3000 and two students received individual awards for their efforts. Deanna won a Charity Manager prize for her work with the charity Fearless (www.fearless.org), whilst Yousef won an Art & Design award for his design and branding for the Harmony Beatz company.
