Trinity College London is delighted to introduce the TrinityTalent | Class of 2020
TrinityTalent celebrates talented young people achieving Trinity’s music, drama qualifications and Arts Award in the UK. This year we have an extra special award for Arts Award alumni to celebrate 15 years of Arts Award supporting creativity!
An open nominations process invited teachers, peers, friends and family to propose young people taking Trinity qualifications who had shown excellence in Artistic Achievement, Creative Flair, Progress or Leadership. We received an impressive 110 nominations from passionate teachers, friends and parents alike — meet our featured artists in the five galleries below.
Our team of Trinity judges and Youth Choice judges were impressed by the quality of the nominations received, with young people demonstrating a wide range of artistic and personal development across music, drama and Arts Award, and every nomination deserving recognition. The Trinity judges selected a small number of young people from each qualification to be profiled in the TrinityTalent Class of 2020. You can read more about the panel of judges in the galleries below.
"Trinity is delighted to celebrate the fantastic achievements of these young artists. We are incredibly proud that young people have been able to demonstrate their creativity and leadership through Trinity exams, despite the challenges that affected us all in 2020. We look forward to seeing their creative futures flourish. Congratulations to the Class of 2020."— Sarah Kemp, CEO, Trinity College London
