LOCAL SCHOOLS ART COMPETITION

Our annual Royal Ascot Local Schools Art Competition is underway with schools invited to submit artwork with a “Coronation/Royal Ascot” theme to commemorate this special year. This community project provides children and schools in the local area an opportunity to have their artwork displayed in the Ascot Heath Tunnel, creating a colourful walkway for both Royal Ascot visitors and local residents.

Pupils aged 4-14 years from schools within a 5-mile radius of the racecourse were asked to submit their artwork to be in with a chance of winning cash prizes of £1,000 for their school, as well as Amazon vouchers to spend for themselves.

Today, the short-listed entries are displayed in the Exhibition Hall. Please come and vote for your favourites or alternatively you can view and vote online at: www.ascot.com/school-art-competition Ascot staff have also cast their votes and Flat Jockey, Ryan Moore, has been asked to pick his favourite.

Winners and runners up will be announced at the beginning of May with cheque presentations taking place at our Victoria Cup Raceday on Saturday, 13th May 2023.

We hope you enjoy the wonder of a child’s perspective of Royal Ascot and the Coronation as much as we do!
