P4-P7 Drawing Competition

drawing compRenowned artist and playwright, John Byrne, invites children and young people in schools across Scotland, from P4 – S3, to participate in the second annual John Byrne Drawing Competition.

Last year welcomed the launch of the John Byrne National Drawing Competition.  The judges had to work hard to whittle down the entries from over 3000 children and young people from schools across Scotland.  The proud winner was Anushka Waugh Glover from Harris Academy, Dundee.

The competition is open to all children across Scotland from P4 – S3. John will head the selection panel that will choose the winners, and runners-up, whose work will then be exhibited at Paisley Museum and Art Gallery. All exhibitors will meet John himself at a prestigious exhibition opening at the gallery in March 2016.

Competition rules and information about submitting entries are available on the Education Scotland website: http://www.educationscotland.gov.uk/learningandteaching/curriculumareas/expressivearts/nationaldrawingcomp/index.asp
