Schools Brain Art: Judges Decisions
Thank you to everyone who entered the competition this year. Due to a lack of entries from children in Key Stage 3 it was decided to combine this age group with the Key Stage 4/5 group and have a Secondary School category. We also received one group entry and the judges decided to award that a special prize. The judges also selected additional entries to receive a Highly Commended award and these together with the prize winners will now be on display at the Royal West of England Academy, Bristol from 22ndMarch to 17th April in the Fedden Gallery. Entry to this gallery is free to members of the public.
The Bristol Neuroscience Festival organisers would like to thank the judges, Dr Kathryn Garney, Dr Sue Pickering, Mr Joel Edwards and Mr Chris Dunseath for giving up their time to run this competition, and all of the schools fpr making this such a memorable event. With your support we may try to run this again in the future.
