Positive Bradford Logo Competition
What is Positive Bradford?
Positive Bradford has been formed by a group of people fed up of seeing their city unfairly criticised. They have resolved to do something about it. Set up by Jane Vincent, founder of recruitment company Candelisa People and Saleem Kader, Managing Director of international business Bombay Stores Group. The Positive Bradford Group includes volunteers from the arts, business, communities and education who share a mission to change perceptions of Bradford and highlight positive aspects of the city.
Positive Bradford’s objective is easily defined: we’re going to speak up for Bradford
A ‘Positive Bradford Day’ will be held on Wednesday, September 21 to coincide with the opening of the new City Park. Centenary Square will be filled with displays, music and dancing performed by groups who promote Bradford’s cultural strength at home and overseas. It will be a day to celebrate all that is great about Bradford. Sceptics will be especially welcome!
Positive Bradford will be professionally turned into a brand by ‘this is Chemistry’, a successful Design and Marketing Agency based in Little Germany, Bradford. We would like young people from across the district to be involved in this process. Therefore we are holding a competition for young people to help design the ‘Positive Bradford’ logo.
