Gorsedh Kernow are delighted to announce the winners of the Gorsedh Kernow Young People Awards. Awards Coordinator Amanda Harris said “It is very encouraging to see that the quality, creativity and exuberance of the entries has not lessened despite, or may be because of, lockdown. Many families have taken this opportunity to encourage the children to celebrate their home and their Cornwall through music, film, written studies and art.”

Many thanks again go to Cusgarne School for encouraging their children to enter, to Treverbyn Primary and The Cornwall Music Education Hub. This year we have also had some fabulous winners from America where the Cornish language and culture are being celebrated with enormous enthusiasm. The winning entries can be seen on the Gorsedh Kernow website in September.
“It was very uplifting to judge the Children’s Awards and to see how much Cornwall means to the children and how this is shown in their creative expression. There were so many good entries, it was not an easy choice at all” said Grand Bard Melennek, Elizabeth Carne.

Gorsedh Kernow exists to maintain the national Celtic Spirit of Cornwall and to give expression to such spirit, to encourage the study of Cornish history, literature, and the Cornish language, to foster Cornish art, music, dance, and sport and to link with other Celtic countries.
The Gorsedh Kernow Awards scheme enables Gorsedh Kernow to recognise and celebrate a wide range of Cornish cultural activity alongside the more traditional arts and literary entries and allows for entries to be submitted through new media technologies.
