Lizi Pritchard, Director of Learning and Expressive Arts at Ysgol Llanfyllin, said: “Congratulations to our three winners and all those who entered.

“Nia’s story was a murderous thriller keeping the reader on the edge of their seats with a great twist at the end.

“Isobel’s striking portrait was a wonderful exploration of colour, while Ruby’s sewed piece depicted herself and her friends at her neon lights birthday party.”
