IN PICTURES: Drawing on the Queen’s record-breaking reign – Winners announced!
By Jack Mendel
Here are the stunning designs for our kids’ art competition, to mark Her Majesty’s record-breaking reign.
From portraits of Her Majesty and the Royal Family, to British flags and London landmarks, young artists up to 17-years old have been sending in their creative entries to celebrate the Queen’s record.
The entries have been judged by an expert panel, and the winners will be announced by Jewish News in the paper on Thursday.
Until that is revealed – we can show you the best of the entries!
The winning designs have been selected by a panel of judges including MP Luciana Berger, Richard Ferrer, editor Jewish News, Partnership for Jewish Schools (PaJeS) executive director Rabbi David Meyer, Aimee Taylor of the Ben Uri Gallery and Zaki Cooper – former assistant press secretary to the queen and head of external relational at the chief rabbis office.
Our under 12s winner is talented ELLA BLOOM, while our 13-17 age group prize goes to gifted JESSICA BIRCH. Both young artists win an iPad!
Enjoy!

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
