This was the first year we are offered schools the chance to take part in the Wiltshire Schools Creativity Awards.  (WiSCAs - Wiltshire’s equivalent to the Oscars!).  Using a digital still, web or video camera is an exciting way of visualising ideas and stories. This was a fantastic opportunity for young people to express their creativity using a range of digital media.
