Councillor Jay Moore, Oswestry town mayor, presented Catrin with her winner's voucher earlier this week.

He said: “The Youth Music Festival is an important event in the Oswestry calendar celebrating talented musicians across the area.

“This logo embodies the spirit of the competition and Catrin did a fantastic job with her design ­– congratulations.”

There were many entries this year and the winning design was chosen by the Youth Music Festival committee.

The winning logo will be used on the 2023 festival’s programme and be printed on stickers given to all festival entrants.

Oswestry’s Youth Music Festival will be held from March 1 to 5, 2023 and promises to be bigger than ever.

It takes place over five days across three venues in Chapel Street at Christchurch, Hermon Arts, and the Methodist Church in central Oswestry.

The festival has been running for more than 40 years and includes a broad range of classes including string, woodwind, brass, piano, percussion, instrumental, vocal, choir and band.
