Arts Society Competition 2025
Published on 07/08/25
Rachel Bloomfield-Proud, Head of Visual Art, tells us all about the Arts Society Competition.
Every year the Cambridge Arts Societies run a competition for Year 12 artists. More than 54 artworks from local schools and colleges were exhibited to showcase this work in an exhibition held at the Michaelhouse Cafe in central Cambridge and it was open to the public with a private view on Saturday 7 June.
Saturday 7 June proved to be a special evening for Amelia H. She was one of our Year 12 A Level artists who had submitted work into the Cambridge Arts Society Competition 2025. Amelia’s work was judged to be the ‘Best in Show’. The top accolade for prizes. Amelia, Phoebe C, their parents, Mrs Bloomfield-Proud and Mrs Wilshaw were able to attend the event and witness Amelia’s proud moment receiving her prize.
It was mentioned how the standard was particularly high this year which makes the achievement even more special. Congratulations to Amelia and to all the Year 12 students who had submitted entries this year.
Using the theme of Transformation, Amelia was able to show the transformation of a healthy flower to one decaying in the same composition and used texture and colour to differentiate the two distinct stages. It also reveals the beauty in decay.
