In 2020, we ran an international competition with students outside of Britain. Our very own Angie worked with young people from various parts of China currently living in the United States to bring the Haringey Unchained mission and model abroad.
The students were brought together by the Ivy Talent Agency in partnership with the ISC Academy.
The only requirement for the piece of work was to apply the theme: Breaking the Chains, in some way. The top five pieces from this long list will be published in Volume Five of the magazine, due out in July 2020.
Thank you to all of the students who have submitted to this competition. Your work has been so wonderful to review! Keep up the creativity.
