Arts Award is a creative journey for children and young people, helping them to explore the world of the arts, discover talents, develop leadership, and gain a nationally recognised qualification.

Open to the age 25 and under, Arts Award helps young people build valuable skills for the future, including creativity, communication, problem solving, self reflection, and confidence.

Participants can complete an Arts Award in all and any form of art, from music and dance to poetry, drama and much much more. Whether they are finding a new interest or developing an existing one, Arts Award provides a flexible and rewarding framework for creative achievement.

Young people can work towards one of five levels:

Discover (Recommended ages 5-9)
Explore (Recommended ages 7-11)
Bronze (Recommended ages 11-14)
Silver (Recommended ages 14-16)
Gold (Recommended ages 11-25)

Each level encourages creativity, personal growth, and artistic development while recognising the achievements of young people every step of the way.
