2010 Winners

This year's competition was a huge sucess with over 5,000 primary school children entering their paintings of What Makes Them Smile'.

While it was very hard to choose 12 winners from around the country we managed to narrow it down thanks to the help of artist Helen Steele.

The winning paintings, all of which you can see on the right hand side of the page, ranged from 'My Family' and 'The Lonely Flower' to 'Butterflies' and 'The View from my Bedroom Window'.
