A virtual art exhibition is being held at a St Albans museum over half term.
A competition saw pupils aged four to 18 from 13 schools in the area create pieces of art in order to win £1,000 for their school art department.
The competition also provided children with the chance to have their artwork displayed on a screen in St Albans Museum + Gallery throughout the half term until this Sunday (November 1).
There were more than 300 entries and only 40 pieces of artwork were shortlisted by a panel of judges. The winning students from each of the age groups will be presented with trophies and all finalists will receive a medal.
Councillor Anthony Rowlands, responsible for leisure, heritage and public realm said: "In this challenging time, it is more important than ever to encourage young people to express themselves through art."
