The Rotary Club of Grimsby Havelok event to showcase the talents of local young artists, in Partnership with North East Lincs Music and Performing Arts Services. The whole 2008/9 event was sponsored by the Grimsby Institute of Further & Higher Education, to whom the Club are very grateful.
The main aim of the competition and exhibition is to promote local talent, increase aspiration, give young painters a higher profile and encourage all young people with art endeavour.
From 11th of May 2009 was a seven day exhibition of school pupils paintings, at the Discovery Centre Cleethorpes. LINK
There are five entry categories.
A memento trophy and certificate is awarded to the winner and runner up of each category (Key Stages 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5) Also the winner of each category's school has a shield awarded. There is also a 'Special Endeavour' award in each category, as well as Judges merit awards.
The Painter judged as 'Young Painter of the Year' received a Cup, which along with the school Shields annual award for each keystage, is displayed at the winners' schools until the following year. All pupils having a painting showing in the Exhibition were given a certificate.
There is no restriction in subject as we wish to fit in with the curriculum as much as possible and we love to see a wide variation in paintings.
