Arts and Minds 2015 winners celebrate equality and diversity

A striking self-portrait has won a Blackpool student the top prize in the 2015 Arts and Minds competition.

Run by the NASUWT and supported by SecEd, Arts and Minds is a UK-wide competition aimed at promoting race equality and diversity in schools.

It challenges students in primary, secondary and special schools to use art and creative writing to tackle themes of equality and diversity.

This year’s winning entry, selected by television presenter Gok Wan, was created by Ciaran Brazier, a year 8 pupil at Speedwell Centre in Blackpool.

His winning piece was a self-portrait produced in a mosaic style and was unveiled as the national winning entry at a ceremony in London last month.
