Local Artist of the Year: Who is the best secondary school artist in the north and north-east?

It is time to vote for your favourite piece of art from across the north and north-east to find the reader’s choice winner of our Local Artist of the Year competition.

The artist who receives the most votes will win a workshop with local artist Mel Shand, £200 in cash, a trophy and a canvas print of their winning entry to display at home.

We will also have three category winners (primary school, secondary school, and 18 years and over) – as chosen by our local art expert from Mel Shand.

Once the vote closes, our Local Artist of the Year winners will be announced in a special feature.

Below, we have the excellent entries submitted from secondary school pupils in Inverness, Highlands & Islands, Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.

Vote for your favourite secondary school artist of the year.
