Thanks to Janice for sharing this latest news from Niton. Ed
Isle of Wight Day was something special to celebrate for one Niton family, who swept the board at the parish’s children’s art competition.
Amelia Mumford, seven, took the £25 first prize for her picture of a fox, and her brothers, Sam and Ben, won runners-up prizes of £10 each. The competition was judged by Island children’s author and illustrator, Marianne Su-Yin.
Skill and detail praised
The children were presented with their certificates and prizes by Cllr Jon Boileau Goad, chairman of Niton and Whitwell Parish Council, at the Edward Edwards library, in Niton, on Isle of Wight Day.
Organiser Cllr Janice Young said:
“Our judge praised the skill and detail which the children had put into their pictures.”
