An art competition is helping young pupils put their creativity on display.

Run by the Norfolk Churches Trust, the Norfolk Primary Schools Church Art Competition invites pupils to capture the beauty and history of their local churches.

Open to primary schools across the county, the competition has already received "imaginative" entries in a range of media and styles.

Rosabelle Batt, chairman of the Norfolk Churches Trust, said: "We have already received some wonderfully imaginative entries from children across Norfolk and it has been a joy to see how creatively they have captured their local churches.

"We know many schools are under pressure financially, particularly when it comes to art budgets, so we hope this competition not only inspires creativity but also helps schools secure valuable art materials."

Prizes include £500 worth of art equipment for the winning school plus £100 of art materials for the winning pupil.

The competition is being supported by a judging panel that includes broadcaster Susie Fowler-Watt, former England national rugby union team player Ben Youngs, and England women's national football team star Lauren Hemp.
