The search is on once again to find Dulux Decorator Centres’ Apprentice of the Year 2010, and the national competition, will be making a stop at Waltham Forest College, on 25th March 2010.
The Dulux Decorator Centres’ Apprentice of the Year competition is in its third year and the 2010 competition is expected to be bigger and better, especially as it has become a recognised and permanent feature in the painting & decorating industry’s calendar. The competition aims to reward the skills and creativity of talented apprentices and is calling for painting & decorating companies and colleges across East London to put forward their top students.
The Dulux Decorator Centres’ Apprentice of the Year 2010 competition is open to apprentices aged between 17 and 24 years of age on a recognised painting and decorating course and studying an NVQ or SVQ level two or three, alongside working in the industry.
Kerrilee Jay store manager of the East London Dulux Decorator Centre on Thornham Grove, commented: “We are really looking forward to the 2010 Apprentice of the Year competition to start. Last year was a huge success and we really want to have a record number of entries this year. The competition is a great opportunity for apprentices to showcase their skills and raise their profile within the industry, and what’s more the prize will also help to establish the winners’ career, so I would recommend colleges and painting & decorating companies put forward their top apprentices.”
The competition aims to provide painting and decorating students with a challenging, but fun and practical competition. Each student will be tasked with a series of practical applications, comprising various elements of painting and decorating, covering wallpapering, stencilling, waterborne glosses, and special effects.
The winner of the East London heat will go on to compete against eight other regional winners in the national final, which will take place at Leeds College on the 17th June 2010, where the overall winner will be crowned ‘Dulux Decorator Centres’ Apprentice of the Year 2010’ at an awards presentation.
The winner will receive £1,000 cash and a variety of other prizes, including a Red Letter Day, Nectar points and Dulux training and a host of prizes for their college for all painting and decorating students to use. There will also be runners up prizes of £500 and £250, plus £100 worth of Dulux Decorator Centres vouchers each, for those finishing in overall second and third place. Individual regional heat winners will win £100 each, a certificate and a Dulux Decorator Centre goody bag packed with fantastic products donated by Dulux Decorator Centre’s suppliers.
The deadline for entries into the regional heats is Friday 26th February and all applicants should contact their lecturer and register through their painting and decorating college.
