All winners in the childrens’ section received a red winners rosette and all children received a coloured pencil.
The Ruth Cornish Cup was awarded for the second year running to Rowan Allen, aged 11, who entered 13 categories.
Merryn Rymer, aged 9, won arrangement in a basket also in the adults section.
