Gilford Council an nounced the winner of their wall design
competition last night, and it was quite a surprise. They wanted
local artists to design something to go on the huge north wall of
the new town hall.
Thousands of professional artists entered the competition
but the lucky artist who won wasn’t one of them. In fact, he’s a
student called Tim Blake and he’s just thirteen. ‘The design which
Tim created is colourful and fun, and it’s just the sort of image
that we wanted to brighten up the town,’ says Andrew Wilkins, the
organiser of the competition.
Tim was really surprised with his win and wants to enter more
art competitions now. ‘I was sitting in the town hall listening to the
organiser a nd waiting for the result , when all of a sudden, he read
out my name. I couldn’t believe it!’ said Tim. Tim’s design is going
to appear on the new town hall and hopefully stay there for many
years to come. But that’s not all. The winner of the competition
receives £5000. Tim’s going to spend some of the money on a
new computer so he can work on his future designs, but he’s not
sure what he’s going to do with the rest of it yet.

3. Tim found out that he was the winner from a newspaper article.
