The winners of HMS Unicorn’s annual school art competition have been announced.

The theme this year was Sea Monsters, Myths & Mermaids to tie in with Unicorn’s summer exhibition produced in partnership with the University of St Andrews and the Scottish Fisheries Museum, and continuing VisitScotland’s theme “Year of Coasts and Waters”.

It attracted hundreds of wonderful entries, with prizes including an annual family pass to HMS Unicorn, a unique medal, and trips to the ship for the winners’ classmates. Winning schools included Fintry Early Years Centre, Kingspark School, and Clepington Primary School.

Finlay Raffle, HMS Unicorn’s Learning and Engagement Officer, said: “This year’s competition has been done remotely, but we are still delighted to have been able to see so many fantastic pieces of art and the creativity of our young artists. We hope these budding artists continue their career!”
