Part of Southend City Day Celebrations
As part of this year’s celebrations, Southend-on-Sea City Council is inviting budding young artists to take part in the exciting City Day Secondary Schools Portrait Competition at The Royals Shopping Centre.
The creative contest is open to students in Years 7 to 11 from Southend schools and colleges.
Five students from each year group will step up to their easels and take part in a live, one-hour portrait challenge, working in a semicircle around a sitter in front of an audience. Participants may use the provided materials or bring their own, but this is a drawing and painting competition only.
To apply to take part, visit the website.
