The ART Awards are a new national and international scheme intended to recognise the people and groups who are successful in teaching and training ringers.

Further to the success of the inaugural 2015 ART Awards, nominations are now open for the 2016 ART Awards and this includes two new awards. These awards are open to everyone, not just ART Members or those using ‘Learning the Ropes’ scheme (unless otherwise specified). The aim is to encourage and recognise the people and groups leading best practice and innovation in the teaching and development of ringing.

Applications are OPEN NOW until 31 December 2016, with the ART Awards being presented at the ART Conference 2017 on Saturday 11 March 2017 at the ART Conference at Old Basing, Hampshire.

If you would like to nominate someone for one of the categories or would like to find out more just click on this link  It’s very interesting especially as St Mary’s, Brightone, IOW won The Sarah Beecham Youth Groups Award last year!
