My Future Aspirations Art Competition

Launched 10 years ago, My Future Aspirations Art competition is a collaboration between Thorpe Molloy McCulloch Recruitment Ltd and the secondary schools in Aberdeen city and shire. My Future Aspirations challenges young people in S1 and S2 to think about their career dreams, what they are going to do when they leave school, who they would like to become and how they can contribute to the wider society. Pupils illustrate their future career aspirations through art, choosing any medium from paper to video.

Following hundreds of entrees from Aberdeen Grammar Schools Art Department, 8 students work was selected (Only 8 entries are allowed per school!)

Public voting is now open on Facebook with the People’s Choice public vote deciding this year’s winner.

Online voting is open until 21 June and the winner will be announced soon after! We would love pupils and family to get involved in helping one of Aberdeen Grammar’s students to be a winner!
