Year 10 student wins Szeged Art Award

We are delighted to announce that Year 10 student Eunice R. has been awarded the Bronze Diploma for her artwork.

As Cambridge is twinned with the Hungarian city of Szeged, schools in Cambridge were offered the chance to enter the HAMMIDO Art School competition. This competition formed a major part of the IVth International Youth Festival of Fine Arts of Szeged. The aim of the festival was to allow children to exhibit artworks from Szeged and its twin cities, allowing them to gain knowledge and experience of each other’s homelands through visual imagery.

Photographic and digital artworks by five Year 10 Art and Design students – Bella T., Chrissie K., Emma A., Eunice R. and Ruby G. – were submitted to the competition. The theme for the children was ‘Unique in my City’: students were to represent something they felt was indicative or unique to their home town. Eunice won with her photograph of punting on the Cam, but all five photographs were accepted into the competition and were exhibited in Szeged at the International Youth Festival of Fine Arts.

We welcomed Julia Boyd, chairwoman of the Cambridge Szeged Society, to present the award. Sadly, Eunice was unable to attend the ceremony, so Headmistress Charlotte Avery was delighted to accept the award on her behalf.
