We are delighted to announce Kinga Elliot as the 2019 recipient of the SCPN Art and Design prize for Creative Communication. Kinga is a third year painting student at Gray\u2019s School of Art in Aberdeen and was inspired to paint \u2018Cartwheel\u2019 after watching her daughter roll out cartwheels along St Cyrus beach. Kinga recognised the sheer joy that a physical activity can bring, stirring memories but also the recognition that we lose sight of such pleasures in adulthood. Kinga wanted to capture the childlike joy of the flow of movement for fun….no challenges or competition. Kinga regularly swims and walks […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>
Every year we search our Scottish Art Colleges for projects which relate to behaviours which may impact on cancer risk. This year we were delighted to come across a project by Amy Steindl entitled \u2018PitStop\u2019. Amy\u2019s concept was to develop a service to promote worksite wellbeing by encouraging employees to walk to local independent cafes in their break times. The service asks the user how many steps they have walked that day to offer the furthest appropriate caf\u00e9. In addition to cafes the location of park benches is also given if users have brought their own food. Amy researched the […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

A design for an innovative community supermarket dedicated to encouraging health living won our 2014\u00a0Art &\u00a0Design\u00a0prize. The winning entry came from Alicia Storie, newly graduated in Interior Environmental Design from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design at the University of Dundee. The judges were presented with many novel concepts in a variety of media, but were very impressed with Alicia\u2019s vision of a community led supermarket where the emphasis was on health and customer satisfaction, whilst also being profitable. Alicia had an interest in healthy eating from an early age, and an understanding of the […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>
The second annual SCPN prize for creative communication was awarded to Callum Reid, who had recently graduated with a degree in Fine Art from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design. Callum\u2019s work highlighted obesity in society, precisely the innovative communication of behavioural risk which the prize rewards. His sculpture, entitled simply \u2018Obesity,\u2019 was constructed from expanding foam, which is normally used as a building material. Given its organic nature, Callum saw it as a relevant sculpting medium, especially given the themes he was looking to explore. As Callum had a family history of obesity and cancer, he […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>
