As part of the Jubilee celebrations on Ashmore Park the Ashmore Park Community Together committee organised an art competition – sending entry forms to all primary schools on the estate – asking them to create a piece of art work that would not only form the basis of their fun days programme but would also be transferred onto a 2 metre by 2 metre canvas for the community to come along and paint during the festivities on Tuesday 5th June.
Judged by a sub committee of James Clarke and Steph Jennings from the WV11 website, Derek Tomlinson treasurer of the Ashmore Park Community Association and Jo Leach of St AlbansChurch – They had a  hard time picking from them. The children of Ashmore Park provided some high quality entries – there were hundreds of entries from the different schools but finally a winner was picked along with 2 runners up and a few highly commended.
