Stephen Metcalfe, local MP
for South Basildon and Thurrock, has congratulated all entrants of The
Laboratory Art Studio children’s art competition after judging the entries last
weekend.
The competition was open to
children and young people under the age of 16 living in Essex with the theme of
Woodlands and Wildlife.
An exhibition of all the
entrants work was proudly displayed at The Green Centre, War Tyler Park and was
open to the public to view.
The local MP, along with 3 other judges, congratulated all participants
before announcing 3 winners in 3 different categories.
The local MP commented: “The
competition offered a great way for young people to reconnect with nature in
the local area and then to reproduce their experiences in these wonderful works
of art.”
“The standard of entries was
fantastic and I would like to congratulate all those who took part. I
thoroughly enjoyed seeing the exhibition as I know many members of the public
did and I hope that every young artist will come away with a great sense of
pride in what they have achieved.”
