Arts Award is a unique range of qualifications open to anyone up to the age of 25 designed to encourage and develop budding artists and arts leaders.

There are five levels, involving participation, skills development, leadership and even work experience. The levels are: DISCOVER, EXPLORE, BRONZE, SILVER and GOLD. Progress through the levels is recorded and presented in a log book or portfolio. There are no entry requirements, and no time limit.

National Youth Choir is an Arts Award supporter and we are keen to encourage schools and individuals to use our events and activities to complete their Arts Award.
