Enter young people for Arts Award

* Important note: The process for entering young people for Arts Award changed in December 2023 *

The main improvements are:

      • simple marksheet has replaced the adviser assessment report form
      • Centres enter young people via the centre portal when portfolios and adviser assessments are fully completed
      • No need for advance bookings for moderation; moderation is no longer required for the majority of centres
      • Moderation, where needed, takes place online via our new portfolio submission platform
      • Fast, digital certificate delivery for Explore/Bronze/Silver/Gold levels (note: an individual email address for each young person is now compulsory information for the issue of their digital certificate). For details, read our Certificates Info

To learn more about these changes, read our News.

Overview

Arts Award centres can enter young people for Arts Award once all portfolios and adviser assessments are fully completed. Advisers must assess the completed arts logs/portfolios against the evidence requirements and assessment criteria for the relevant Arts Award level.

To enter young people for Arts Award, the centre must provide Trinity with details for the young people whose portfolios have been assessed by the adviser. Centres enter young people for all levels of Arts Award via the centre portal.

Trinity will select annually a percentage of centres entering young people for Explore, Bronze, Silver and Gold levels to be moderated.
