HBTSR held a competition for local schools  about ‘ Seeking Sanctuary’  in 2023 to celebrate Refugee week

and  in 2024 another schools competition on the theme of ‘Welcome/Croeso’  .

There has been a very high standard of work in both years and this made the judges work very hard.

Quote from Audience member about 2023 awards evening

            ‘Last year’s entries were extraordinary individually, and profoundly affecting collectively; I was astonished over and again  by their maturity and depth, as well as by the sheer creative talent of their creators. I very much look forward to the event.’

An awards evening  was held at 6.30pm  on 14th June 2024  at St Mary’s church in Brecon and an exhibition of work was at Theatr Brycheiniog  for several weeks from June 10th and from 5th July at Hay Castle until end of July.

Exhibition is in Brecon Cathedral  entrance halls from 2nd September  2024 for a few weeks
