Walter Probert, Kilgetty, travelled to London after being short-listed for the National Brits at Art award.

A student at the Monkton Priory Project, Walter created and entered into the award in May and was informed that his work had been short-listed into the top 100 finalists.

He was invited to attend an awards ceremony at the Southbank Centre in London on June 22, where his work would be put on show along with all the other finalists.

Unfortunately, his work was not chosen in the top 11 entries, but he was told his work "was insightful, well-crafted and creative" by the director general of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, Neil Kingham.

The award is a national award for people aged 11-19 across Wales, Scotland and England to create artwork that expresses their vision of the world without prejudice.

"We are all very proud of the effort Walter put into his art entry and delighted that this has been rewarded by being short-listed and having the opportunity to go to London," said Bev Stephens, of the Priory Project.
