People between five to seventeen years will be displaying over one hundred exhibits of their talents in art, cartoons, photography and writing (prose and poetry) in junior, intermediate and senior classes. Entries for the exhibition closed on February 10th and their work will come under scrutiny of some well know but Derbyshire based creative talent:

Entry to exhibit has been free with Rotary having contacted junior and senior schools across, Belper, Duffield, Allestree, Ripley, Kilburn and Alfreton along with Derby college, resulting in over eighty pieces of work being on view and judged with winners receiving cash prizes and commendations.
Exhibition joint-organiser John Stamp of Rotary said, "Last year we held a closed exhibition. We were so blown away with the high standard of talent of the young people, we felt we must enable the creative talents to be seen by as many people as possible. Having seen the exhibits this year, I know visitors will not be disappointed. Please support the young people, pop in, have a coffee and enjoy some creative talent of the future."
Winning exhibitors will receive cash prizes and their exhibits will be forwarded to regional creative talent competition organised by Rotary with an opportunity to participate in a national Rotary competition.
