High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! UK Rock Challenge is the British arm of the Global Rock Challenge and the Australian Rock Eisteddfod Challenge. Rock Challenge is an anti-drug and crime-prevention that takes the form of a friendly performing arts competition for schools and colleges. In 1996, the first Rock Challenge event in UK was originally staged in Portsmouth with only 11 schools and 800 students.
