The theme for this years annual art competition was ‘Summer’ and as always the standard of work was very high. The artwork chosen from each of the five schools which took part was displayed in Belmont Library and the Award Ceremony took place there on the 21st of June.

We would like to thank the Mayor of Durham, Councillor John Lethbridge for presenting the prizes and also the staff from Belmont Library who had the difficult task of choosing the winners.
