The Seventh Howden Festival - Saturday 15th - Sunday 23rd September 2007
Winners of “The Cover Design Competition for the 2007 Festival Programme”
The winners of the 2007 Festival programme cover design competition were presented with their prizes and certificates at Howden Junior School on Friday 13th October. William Sweeting, the Howden Festival Chairman of 2006, carried out the presentation.
Entries to the competition were received from both Howden Junior School and Howden Infant School. The Festival Committee selected finalists for the competition and these were displayed in Howden Minster during the Festival week.
The final of the competition was judged by David Fanshawe, composer of African Sanctus, and his wife Jane after the performance of this work in Howden Minster on the last Saturday of Festival week. David and Jane were both impressed by the standard of entries from these young artists.
The winners were as follows:
Georgina Gray-Howden Junior School winner and overall competition winner
Jessica Makey-Howden C of E Infant School winner
The judges awarded “Highly Commended Certificates” to:
Laura Kinnaird-Howden Junior School
