As they work towards Arts Award, children and young people collect evidence of what they have done and reflect on their experiences.  At Discover, Explore and Bronze they can choose to use the specially designed arts logs ? or you can create your own to fit your project or the young people you?re working with.  Evidence can also be collected in any format that works for them and you: a folder, sketchbook, video diary, a website or blog.

At all levels, children and young people work with an Arts Award adviser. This is a trained adult who supports young people in gaining arts experiences, provides guidance and assesses arts logs and portfolios.  Teachers, teaching assistants, museum learning staff, art practitioners, youth workers and volunteers can all train as advisers.
 
Your Arts Award can be based around any arts or media activity, and you can complete it in a wide variety of settings ? like youth clubs, arts centres, schools, colleges, theatres or community groups.

There are no entry requirements, no time limit for completing the award, and no set rules on how  to present final work. Young people just need to be aged under 25, and ready to explore new creative experiences.
