Arts Award inspires young people to grow their arts and leadership talents: it’s creative, valuable and accessible. It allows young people to explore any art forms including performing arts, visual arts, literature, media and multimedia. The award builds confidence, helps young people to enjoy cultural activities, and prepares them for further education or employment.

Arts Award can be achieved at five levels, four accredited qualifications and an introductory award. Discovery, Explore, Bronze, Silver and Gold.

There are no entry requirements, no time limit for completing the award, and no set rules on how you present your final work. You just need to be ready to explore new creative experiences.
