Pupils from Solihull schools praised by Mayor for artistic work

Talented pupils from Langley Primary and Tudor Grange Academy have been praised by the Mayor of Solihull for their artistic work.

The work was part of the Solihull Rotary Young Artist 2026 competition.

The students, teachers and family members were welcomed into the Civic Suite by the Mayoral team.

The invited students were a mixture of category winners and highly commended participants, and each one was given a certificate and congratulated by the Mayor for their imaginative and creative work.

The Mayor of Solihull expressed how he was delighted to receive the star pupils, their families and the dedicated volunteers at the Rotary Club.

He said: “It was a pleasure to see such talent and enthusiasm for the arts from our young people here in Solihull - every piece of work I saw was so unique and expressive. 

“It’s truly special that the Rotary Club are offering Solihull’s youth the opportunity to nurture their creative sides, and I applaud all of the volunteers involved in organising the competition.”

The Solihull Rotary Young Artist competition has been running for three years and is an opportunity for young people to express their passion for creativity and the arts.

It is a national competition, beginning with local heats, then district heats, and a national final to finish.

The Rotary Club also offers competitions in Solihull such as Young Chef, Young Photographer, and previously the Young Musician contest, which ran for 17 years before the Covid-19 outbreak hit.
