The challenge based on the opera La traviata, saw students from colleges in England, Wales and Northern Ireland compete in categories for set design, costume design, marketing strategy and design.
North West Regional College had a number of students successfully shortlisted for the awards with two successfully winning first place in their categories. Tipsukon Cochrane was awarded first place for costume design for her stunning gown creation and Oisin Herron was awarded first place in marketing strategy and graphic design for his poster and marketing strategy.
This is the third consecutive year the college has won the costume design category at the awards. The competition winners will now get the chance to attend a special day at the Royal Opera House, including a backstage tour, a visit to a specific ROH department, and a Schools' Matinee performance of The Royal Opera's La traviata on 11th March 2016. The students designs are now display in the EnLAB area at the reception of NWRC Foyle Building.
