Ed Sheeran’s recent global music video competition has thrust a school in County Donegal, Ireland, into the spotlight. The contest, which called on schools worldwide to produce a music video for a song from Sheeran’s latest album, ‘Autumn Variations,’ saw an entry from transition-year students at Finn Valley College in Stranorlar emerge victorious. Their video, depicting a school love story with a ‘Romeo and Juliet’ twist, caught Sheeran’s attention and was chosen to represent his new track, ‘Magical.’
With over 4,000 submissions from 75 countries, the Donegal school’s entry stood out. The students and teachers, led by Edel Temple, a special needs assistant who discovered the competition, skillfully brought the story to life. The students, unaware of the video’s true purpose during filming, delivered authentic performances that resonated with the competition’s jury.
The triumph was not only a source of joy for the school community but also had broader implications, positively impacting the city’s economic and cultural landscape. The official release of the video by Sheeran propelled Finn Valley College and its community into the global limelight, showcasing their spirit and creativity.
Sheeran’s vision for ‘Autumn Variations’ as an album by and for the fans is reflected in this competition, spotlighting the artistry of participants. The victory not only raised the profile of Finn Valley College but also served as inspiration for schools and students worldwide, encouraging them to pursue their creative endeavors. As the video continues to gain views and accolades, its creation stands as a testament to the untapped potential within schools and the magic that unfolds when opportunity aligns with talent.
