Winning art work and writing on ‘courage’ in St George Festival competition

St George, being a martyr for his faith, represents the virtue of 'courage' and this was the challenging theme for entrants to try and express in words or art.

Entries came from all age groups. Friars Foundation School, representing the
youngest, had work from nearly every child. London Nautical School had entries from the 12-17 group and Blackfriars Settlement Older People's Club scooped the over-18s art prizes.

The submissions were judged by Chamber of Commerce representative Barry Martin of Russia House (St George is also a patron saint of Moscow) and Veronica Green of Bankside Gallery.

Prizes were presented by Veronica Green of Bankside Gallery and sponsored by Southwark Chamber of Commerce and Sean Kelly Gallery in London Road.
