Today is Roald Dahl Day and pupils across Moray took part in our arty challenge to celebrate the great author.

Today is Roald Dahl Day and pupils across the north and Moray took part in our arty challenge to celebrate the great author.

We received hundreds of submissions from schools. See if you can spot any familiar names or future award-winning artists in our gallery below.

Pupils drew inspiration from the art style of Quentin Blake – the illustrator behind many of the classic book covers – in their entries.

Some will feature in a special print supplement in the future.

And be sure to browse submissions from elsewhere in the patch.

Without further delay, here are some of Highlands’ and Moray’s best young artists’ Roald Dahl Day tributes.
