Awarded to students moving into or currently in further or higher education, the awards are each worth £10,000.

·      The Jonathan Gollow Awards for Performing Arts are awarded to Millie Christian and Ruth Tickle.

·      The Norman Sayle Awards for Visual Art and Literature are awarded to Gabriel Adddy and Josephine Laisney.

·      The Isle of Man Arts Council Awards are awarded to Lexi Forbes and Lucia Aguilar Prince.

Arts Development Manager, Jane Corkill said: “The Isle of Man Arts Council is proud to offer support to these very talented students as they further their studies within the Arts. The standard of applications from our students was extremely high which made for very difficult decisions by the Council.

I feel sure that I speak for all the Arts Council members, together with the Department of Education, Sport and Culture, our Sponsoring Department, in offering warmest congratulations to all of our recipients and we wish them well in their chosen studies as the new academic year begins.”
