A BRIGHTLY coloured musical montage will mark the front cover of this year’s Ilkley Carnival programme after it won the 2019 creative competition.

This year’s winner was designed by 12-year-old Ilkley Grammar School pupil Loen Scott, whose design will feature on the front cover of the carnival programme seen by around 10,000 visitors to the event on Monday, May 6.

This year’s six to eight-year-olds category was won by Olivia Rix, aged seven, of Moorfield School and the nine to 11-year-olds by Martha Dobson, aged 11, from Ashlands Primary School. Both winners will also enjoy a bespoke arts workshop at Bradford Grammar School.

Andrew Stacey, chairman of the Ilkley Carnival Committee, said: " It was incredibly difficult to select just one winner, but Loen’s bright musical collage stood out to all our judges. We were blown away to receive so many wonderful creations.”
