GCSE Art Competition & Exhibition hosted at The Shrewsbury High School Pavilion - May 2026
As part of our Young Arts Programme, we organised this Competition and Exhibition for all schools in Shropshire. Teachers were asked to pick the 5 best students' art from their GSCE 1st Year classes and we awarded a prize for First Place and two Highly Commended. The Exhibition took place at The Shrewsbury High School Pavilion and we had 13 local schools participate. It was a huge success and we are very grateful to all members who support Young Arts through our monthly raffles and make events like this possible.
As part of our Autumn 2026 Programme we are hoping to run a similar event for Year 12 students across Shropshire

Bookfest 2026
We were so pleased to once again support the bi-annual Bookfest art competition, which culminated in the presentation of the prizes at the Theatre Severn on 21st April. The competition is open to all primary schools across Shropshire for young people in Years 5 and 6 and they could submit their work in the following categories – art, poetry, letters and film trailers. We sponsored the art category and provided three judges - many thanks to Gloria Partridge, Blanche James and Gaynor Bowen who had a very challenging task as all the entries were of a very high standard.
All the prize winners have their artwork displayed on the top floor of Theatre Severn. We really do recommend that you go and have a look their work, it is amazing. You can also see them here in the Documents Store.
