Dear children, parents, grandparents, teachers and supporters Welcome to the 2015 Global Canvas Event Magazine which comes hot on the heels of the fabulous event at the Natural History Museum in London on March 19. Thank you to everyone who made the journey and helped make it such a memorable and inspiring event! Special thanks as always to David Shepherd for inspiring us all and to Michaela Strachan for helping to judge and present the prizes. For those who couldn’t be with us we hope that this magazine gives you a flavour of the wonderful celebration of art and poetry that we enjoyed thanks to all your hard work! Next year’s competition will follow the same theme of collaborative working and we’ll let you know the new theme as soon as we’ve decided!
