WINNER: Adelaide Boucher-Ferte, St Mary’s Ascot. Age 15. Title: ‘Love Life.’ 

Our judge, Emma, liked the different messages behind this artwork, from loving your favourite things, to loving yourself. She liked the detail in the painting and the composition.

SECOND PLACE: Amaya Mckay, Beechwood School. Age 15. Title: ‘Flamingoes.’

A moment of love captured through flamingoes.

WINNER:  Emmanuelle Tanner, St Mary’s School Ascot. Age 16. Title: ‘Nature’s Iconic Symbol of Love.’

Throughout the years, roses have been a symbol of love, not only romantic but also the love for nature and natural processes such as life itself. I depicted the roses to be a beautiful symbol of every type of love. No matter how dark, the roses will always be the light that captivates the energy and love in the room. As Abraham Lincoln said ‘You can complain because roses have thorns or you can rejoice because thorns have roses’. This to me, indicates how roses bring love to a place or situation.

SECOND PLACE: Alicia Acland, Slough & Eton C of E Business & Enterprise College. Age 16. Title: ‘A Mother’s Love.”

I chose to do this piece because I felt that the love that comes naturally is the love of a mother. Motherly love is something that builds as a child grows, the joy brought to a family is the most natural form of love that there is.

WINNER: Amryce Choda, Windsor Girls’ School. Age 13. Title: ‘For One Last Time’.

This photograph is a very touching image and was chosen for this reason. It represents Amryce’s love for her Nannie and was taken while she was in hospital. She said, “I will cherish this moment forever.”
