View answerHaving attended the Form and Fusion awards on a number of occasions and seen the excellent creative work of the students involved in the competition, I was disappointed to learn that the sponsor of this year's awards has decided not to continue its sponsorship for next year. While my Department would not be in a position to sponsor the competition, I hope that another sponsor will come forward to ensure this valuable venture can continue.
