DACORUM YOUNG ARTISTS

Dacorum Young Artists Competition enables local schools to encourage the artistic talents of their Year 4 & 5 pupils. The achievements of each participating school are recognised by a ‘Best in School Award’. The pupils placed 1st, 2nd and 3rd overall also receive financial awards to put towards art materials.
Recognising the demands on their time and resources, the Competition lets teachers choose their own themes to support the overall curriculum. By making DYA an online competition, we are helping everyone keep safe.

The deadline for submitting entries will now be 16th July 2021. Judging will take place thereafter and winners announced at the beginning of the Autumn Term. Leading local artist, Mary Casserley will be Head Judge. It is anticipated that winning entries in all categories will be displayed in a virtual gallery, and if the rules permit, a local art gallery.

The original entries should be A4, in colour or B&W. Schools are being asked to scan each entry, attaching a name to each image. Entries will need to be uploaded to a folder bearing each school's name in a designated Dropbox account.
Full details will be given to registered schools in due course.

DYA is organised by Berkhamsted Rotary Club, Hemel Hempstead Rotary Club, The Arts Society Gade Valley and ADFAS.
