The ‘Rebuilding’ Theme can be interpreted as broadly as the Young Artist wishes and does not need to conform to the dictionary definition of the word.
Introduction
The Young Artist Competition is a competition organised and promoted by Rotary International in Great Britain and Ireland (Rotary GBI).
There are three stages to the competition, each designed to support and encourage the development of artistic skills.
Aims and Objectives
The competition aims to encourage young people to:
be creative
develop skills in using traditional or contemporary media
demonstrate interpretation of the topic
express personal ideas through a selected medium or multi-medium
Who can take part?
The competition is open to all schools and colleges and those home-educated, along with community organisations such as, Scout Groups, Girl Guides, Sea and Air Cadets) and individuals across the Thurrock Borough.
