Coast student in top 100

Orewa College Year 11 student Jackson Norwood made it to the top 100 of this year’s IHC Art Awards.

It is the first time he has entered and he beat 200 other entries to make it that far.

Jackson now goes on to the next round.

Orewa Framing Studio, whose co-owner Vanessa Grant is an ex-student of the college, mounted and framed his drawing.

Judges include Boh Runga, Tim Walker and Otis Frizzell.

The top 100 artworks will be available at auction after the IHC Awards final, on Trade Me.
