The SAF Students Prize, Chester has invited teachers from secondary schools in Chester and Cheshire West to nominate their best art students to submit art works online. A judging panel of art professionals have shortlisted the 20 best art works to be publicly exhibited at Chester Cathedral.
The judges visit the exhibition and select one artwork to be awarded a Judges' Prize. To boost engagement and increase exposure for the artists, the general public are also invited to cast a vote online or in person for their favourite artwork displayed in the exhibition.
The winning students receive cash prizes and trophies, their school art departments also receive cash grants to be used for the wider benefit of all students and their creative pursuits.
