ORIGINALITY and ingenuity are the aims of a competition launched at a Trowbridge school on Friday.
The Blitz Challenge, set by former Clarendon College pupils and computer millionaires, Andrew and Philip Oliver, encourages pupils to come up with a project that shows creative thinking.
Philip Oliver said: "We were delighted with the success of the Blitz Challenge last year and are looking forward to involving even more students this time around."
The twin brothers, who attended the school from 1979 to 1986, are the founders of computer games firm, Blitz Games.
The Year Nine pupils will choose a personal challenge, from charity work or sporting endeavour, to a career plan or artistic effort.
Last year's winner, Hollie Noden, then 15, impressed the brothers with her plan to achieve Olympic swimming stardom.
As well as training, Hollie researched everything from past winners to swimsuit designs to try and find out what makes the difference between an average and an Olympic swimmer.
Students have been given until the end of June to realise their plans.
A new building at Clarendon College was named after the Oliver twins last November.
