The Chrisi Bailey Award 2006

Please find below information about this year's Arts Council sponsored Chrisi Bailey Award: the national Children's Media Arts Award. Please feel free to pass this on to anyone you think might be interested in the initiative, and do please forward to any colleagues who might be able to do the same.

As you may know, for over 15 years the Award has highlighted and rewarded some of the most extraordinary educational work with children using photography, digital arts, video and animation with the aim of drawing attention to the use of media arts as a creative, visual medium across a range of subjects and settings.

The Award is open to anyone who has been working creatively with children aged 11 years and under with photography, animation, digital art or video over the last 18 months, and each of this year's 3 Award themes carry with them a prize of £1000 along with a package of creative IT tools. We also organise an Award event to celebrate the and this year the first 20 applications we receive will get a set of art education materials just for applying.

The closing date for this year's Award is Friday May 12th and all of the application information will be available from next week along with a background to the Award and a gallery of previous winners' work at www.thechrisibaileyaward.org.uk
