With a total of 138 entries in the 5 relevant categories this competition is a superb vehicle to reach out to the local community by way of an educational and environmental initiative. This competition involves children from 6 to 18 years and the winning entries will be displayed at the Riffa Views Bahrain International Garden Show (RVBIGS) 2008.

The competition requires pupils to design and create artworks and schemes which demonstrate creativity, imagination and an awareness of environmental issues. The Challenge offers diverse learning opportunities to all school age groups and allows the potential involvement of a broad section of subject areas including, arts, science, technology, craft studies and history.

Richard Browning, CEO of Riffa Views, commented:

"We are excited to have launched this initiative since there has been great interest and support from both government and private schools in Bahrain. The aim of the 'Riffa Views Eden Challenge' is to inspire Bahrain's young generations to engage and interact with their environment. We encouraged children and teachers to commit to this project by bringing together teamwork and community spirit,"


mentioned Richard Browning,

"To further augment international interest and excitement, Riffa Views has enlisted the services of Chris Beardshaw, famed for his BBC TV series and for designing award winning gardens. Chris will be playing an active role as the Riffa Views' Ambassador for the RVBIGS 2008 and he will also be judging the competition", Mr. Browning added.

By participating in this competition, schools have also contributed to the future beauty of Bahrain, as Riffa Views will plant a tree for each school taking part. The tree will be planted at Riffa Views together with a commemorative plaque bearing the school's name. In addition, a tree will be donated to each participating school.
