The Weston Park Foundation is inviting schools in Shropshire and Staffordshire to enter an exciting competition.
This will feature artwork by children in primary and secondary education and give each entrant the opportunity to win a cash prize for their school funds as well as art materials for themselves.
The challenge this year is to produce artwork inspired by Summertime with the chance to win a cash prize for their school and art materials for the winning pupil. Shortlisted entries will feature in an exhibition taking place in the Gallery throughout August and will receive a family ticket to enjoy a day out at Weston Park and see their works in situ.
A first prize of £300 will be awarded to the winning Secondary school with the pupil winning brand new art materials. A first prize of £200 will be awarded to the winning Primary school with the pupil also winning art materials. Second and third prize winners will receive a Weston Park Family Annual Pass.
Juliet Brown, Curatorial and Learning Administrator comments: “We are looking forward to receiving entries for this new competition. With a wide variety of artistic media this diverse and exciting exhibition will definitely be something for everyone’s diary.”
