The Fourth Plinth Schools Awards
Launched by the Mayor of London's office in 2007, the annual awards invites children from primary and secondary schools in the 33 London boroughs to enter a competition in which they create their own art works inspired by the commissions for the Fourth Plinth.
The competition culminates in an exhibition of the best entries at City Hall during the summer term.
