(EMAILWIRE.COM, April 22, 2013 ) Hanover, PA -- ESAB Welding & Cutting Products is set to once again sponsor the Florence-Darlington Technical College's Welding Sculpture Competition for 2013.
This year the competition will be held at the Francis Marion Universitys Arts International Festival on Saturday. The FDTC Education Foundation and ESAB Welding and Cutting Products companies are sponsoring the event for the fourth year, and will provide backing for the entire daylong free event.
The contest will begin with teams of professional and student welders running in a scrap dive in order to find useful sculpting items. The competitors will pick out particular items of metal,
then turning their welding tools and creativity onto the scraps and turning them into art. The teams will have up to eight hours to complete their particular sculptures.
The theme of the competition for 2013 is wildlife, and a panel of judges will be selecting the best pieces for both professional and student division, which involve both awards and cash prizes.
All the artwork will then be auctioned off at the completion of the competition in order to benefit the FDTC Educational Foundation scholarship fund.
The ESAB has been a long-time supporter of welding education as a whole, and partnered with the college in 2001 to support professional welding programs. The ESAB also outfitted the FDTC Welding Program with a wide array of welding and cutting equipment, along with continued support to education within the industry.
ESAB looks forward to the Welding Competition every year, Steve Molenda, Global Marketing Communications and Brand Strategy Manager for ESAB, said. Its inspiring to watch young welders create these amazing works of art.
The ESAB will be awarding winning schools of their choice with ESAB equipment. First place will receive over $5,000 of product, while 2nd and 3rd place will receive $2,500 apiece. Additionally, each member of the winning schools will receive free ESAB welding protective equipment, including gloves and helmets.
