Neil said, “We had some fantastic entries so it was really difficult to pick a winner here, but Isabella’s entry was incredibly impressive.

“I know it’s been a challenging year for so many schools, teachers and students across the constituency, so I’d like to take this opportunity to thank them for all they have done over the pandemic, and for taking part in the competition to once again showcase the superb drawing skills of their students.

“We unfortunately weren’t able to hold the competition last year due to the pandemic, so it’s extra special this year and we’re already looking forward to receiving the entries next year.”
