Jane James stressed the importance of encouraging students' talent.

She stated: "Chevron is proud to sponsor this inspiring project; all the entrants should be very proud of themselves as the skill and talent on display is of such a high standard. 

"Chevron is a longstanding supporter of Tenby Museum and Art Gallery and we are delighted to add our support to an exhibition like this which does so much to encourage and inspire young people." 

Second prize went to Jack Fletcher, of Greenhill School, for his urban landscape Discord, while third prize was awarded to Sheleena Subhan, of Tasker Milward School, for her decorative dress.

The exhibition runs until Friday, February 5.
