The Arts Society Winchester, which nominated Megan, has commented:

"It's a joyous thing to be involved with young people’s art. The annual national ‘A’ Level Student Art Competition, run by The Arts Society, provides us with just that.

In July each year a small group of us has the privilege of attending the exciting ‘End of Year Art Show’ at our local 6th form college, Peter Symonds. There we select six fantastic pieces of art for the competition. At our Christmas lecture our whole Society then has the thrill of presenting the six worthy students with framed prints of their artwork.

Last year we were dazzled by Jodie Clark’s ‘Sleeping Figure’ which won the runner- up prize and this year by Megan Wright’s winning atmospheric painting ‘The End of the Day’.

To support and encourage young people in their artistic talent is truly wonderful and we savour that opportunity with gratitude."
