Young Artist 2024

The theme for the 2023-24 competition is ‘Rebuilding’.

The competition aims to encourage young people to:

• be creative
• develop skills in using traditional or contemporary media
• demonstrate interpretation of the topic
• express personal ideas through a selected medium

The competition is open to all schools and college communities and those who are home educated, along with any other young peoples’ community organisations, for example, community RotaKids, community Interact, Scout Groups, Girl Guides.

There are three age groups:

Entrants must not be over the upper age parameter for each group on 31 August 2023.

The task is to produce one finished 2-dimensional, up to a maximum size of A2, unframed, piece of artwork based upon the theme, ‘Rebuilding’

We welcome artwork in any medium. For example, pen and ink, paint, collage or printmaking.

To accompany the submission, each entrant must provide a brief sentence describing the relationship of the artwork to the theme.

Up to three entries per club may be submitted to District, one in each age category. The winners in each age group in the District will be submitted for consideration at the national final.

The deadline for clubs to submit their entries to District is 12th February 2024.
