Students from schools across the Isle of Man have seen their cultural contributions rewarded by the North American Manx Association.
The organisation presented medals to eight teenagers in categories such as arts and crafts, music, the Manx language and overcoming disability.
Pupils at Castle Rushen, QEII, Ramsey Grammar and Ballakermeen High Schools attended a ceremony in Douglas to pick up their awards.
President of the North American Manx Association Laurence says he’s delighted with the high standards of entrants for the honours:
Overnight sailings cancelled due to adverse weather
Rapist who 'terrorised' his victim told his sentence was 'entirely justified'
Complaints process for health system changed
Discovery of oiled birds 'makes a mockery of our biosphere status'
