Denbighshire shows off creative talent in libraries arts competition
Three lucky winners have each won £50 in the first ever national libraries competition – Express Yourself.

Ysgol Gwaenynog in Denbigh, Llangollen Library Art Club with tutor Sara Jane Harper, and writer Dee Rivaz have each scooped £50!

Express Yourself encouraged everyone of all ages to show off their creative talents with a generic theme of ‘libraries’. Entrants could choose from a variety of arts including creative writing, dancing, drama, music, animation, painting, photography, drawing or sculpture.Library Services throughout Wales participated in the competition and 1500+ entries were received in total.

Gavin & Stacey star Ruth Jones commented, “It’s fantastic that so many people have entered – it just goes to show what a creative nation we are! I’m really looking forward to seeing the finalists work and presenting the prizes in February.”

All the local winners will now be entered into the national stages where eighteen finalists will be chosen and invited to a special awards ceremony on 25th February where they will have the chance to win £500. A national exhibition showcasing the finalists work will go on tour from February next year starting at the Senedd, Cardiff.
