Art Competition Winner20 October 2022 (by KHamilton) |
The Art in Heaven competition started in 2004 and has been held every year since! Over 340,000 participants (averaging 20,000 per year!) have been sent in to NATRE for judging. Hundreds of UK schools get involved, and get entries coming from as far afield as Cyprus and Australia, Indonesia and South Africa.
The annual competition starts at the beginning of every school year and runs through to 31 July, in order to enable teachers to incorporate the art competition into their RE lessons. Many schools have an ‘Art in Heaven’ unit of work, or a special learning RE/arts week.
Judging by RE Today Advisers and students, takes place in August and winners are announced in the new academic year.

The Temple of Baha‘i – We Have Far More in Common
The title I chose is the temple of Baha’i because the people of the Baha’i religion have respect to the temple of Baha’i. In Iran Baha'i people have suffered persecution from various rulers. They are still discriminated against in Iran, so it is difficult for them to go on pilgrimages to the place of the Baha’i home. Baha’is also have difficulty visiting the site of the Baha’i home which is in Iraq. The Baha’i faith is a new religion which began in Persia (now Iran) in the 19th century. It takes its name from a man known as Baha’Ullah which means ‘Glory of God’. He taught equality between all the religions and a way to be spiritual.
Well done, Callum!!!
