Fire your students’ creativity as part of our competition to create a piece of art inspired by Walmer Castle and its gardens. KS4 and 5 students can create artworks in any media they choose, so we hope they’ll enjoy the opportunity to experiment. You and your students are welcome to visit Walmer Castle and Gardens for free as many times as you need.

Competition prizes are:

  • £100 of art supplies for the winning pupil
  • £100 of art supplies for the winning pupil’s school
  • £50 of art supplies for two runners up

The closing date for entries is Friday 10 May 2019. We’ll display a selection of artwork at Walmer Castle and Gardens’ ‘Blooming Gardens’ event in June 2019.

Taking part is easy and we’ll provide you with help and support:
