Our annual youth art prize, sponsored by Crisps.
Theme
Our Community: My Place
Our Community: My Place is an exhibition that hopes to capture what is important to you in your community. If you went away, what would you remember most about your place. What would you miss?
It may be the people around you, your school or your bedroom. Sometimes it is the everyday scenes and sights that you like to remember, or it may be some of the flora and fauna of the district.
