School art 2026

Primary School Art Competition

Thank you for all the entries we received in our local Primary School Art Competition and to our sponsors Forth Boat Tours and Forth Bridges Forum. The brief was to sketch, paint or model one of the Forth Bridges and we were delighted to see so much creativity. Thank you to all the children for sending in such lovely pictures!

Please scroll down to view all the winning entries, by primary year group, pictures of all the entries we received and where to find them on the creative trail.
