A 14-year-old school pupil has won a city-wide art award.
Sneha Shanthakuma, a Year 9 student at St. Anne’s in Enfield, won a prize in the Fourth Plinth Schools Awards 2016, which she received in a ceremony at City Hall on Thursday (April 28).
Her winning entry will be exhibited from April 29 until July 1, after being selected out of 2,700 entries from over 5000 students by artist Mark Wallinger and Munira Mirza, deputy mayor for education and culture.
Entrants had to design a possible sculpture installation for the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square, with Sneha’s vision a large kiwi fruit cut open, to show nature’s beauty and wonder.
