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
‘The 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 next 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.
