If you are interested in running the award with young people, find out more by downloading the Arts Award Guide 2013

 

To run the award, you will need to train as an Arts Award adviser

 

Your Arts Award can be based around any arts or media activity, and you can complete it in a wide variety of settings – like youth clubs, arts centres, schools, colleges, theatres or community groups.

There are no entry requirements, no time limit for completing the award, and no set rules on how you present your final work. You just need to be aged between 7 and 25, and ready to explore new creative experiences.

Do what inspires you. It’s your Arts Award

Find out what inspires you, share your talents, and you’ll walk away with an award that makes a real difference in the world of work and the arts.

Arts Award is managed by Trinity College London in association with Arts Council England. Employers and colleges recognise it as proof of your skills and commitment.
