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 receive 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.
