Stephen Metcalfe MP congratulates children for art competition entries


Stephen Metcalfe, local MP for South Basildon and Thurrock, has congratulated all entrants of The Laboratory Art Studio children’s art competition after judging the entries last weekend.

The competition was open to children and young people under the age of 16 living in Essex with the theme of Woodlands and Wildlife.

An exhibition of all the entrants work was proudly displayed at The Green Centre, War Tyler Park and was open to the public to view.

The local MP, along with 3 other judges, congratulated all participants before announcing 3 winners in 3 different categories.

The local MP commented: “The competition offered a great way for young people to reconnect with nature in the local area and then to reproduce their experiences in these wonderful works of art.” 

“The standard of entries was fantastic and I would like to congratulate all those who took part. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the exhibition as I know many members of the public did and I hope that every young artist will come away with a great sense of pride in what they have achieved.”
