The judging panel, consisting of previous ‘Creative Croydon’ artists Skye Baker, Kate Marsden, Tina Crawford, Matt Bannister, and Miguel Sopena, reviewed all entries, selecting five artists whose entries stood out for their creativity, technical skill, and ability to capture the essence of what happiness means to them.
The winning artists are:
- Beatrix Finch, age 16, @beatrixfinch
- Erika Gomez, age 22, @egomez_art_
- Thomas Oldfield, age 19, @sillydogprints
- Autumn Ng Fong Tiao, age 18, @autumn_art__
- Iulia Taropa, age 19, @julixiaz
Their artworks will be unveiled and displayed on lamppost banners throughout Croydon Town Centre starting from July 23rd, 2024. This initiative not only celebrates the artistic talent of young individuals in our community but also enriches the public spaces of Croydon with vibrant and thought-provoking art.
Each winning artist will receive a commission of £500, recognising their valuable contributions to our community and supporting their artistic endeavours.
Croydon BID, the Croydonist, and 31% Wool extend their heartfelt thanks to all participants who submitted artworks, contributing to the success of this year’s competition.
