The Creative Hertfordshire Flame Awards 2014 are organised by Creative Hertfordshire, in association with the Heart of Flame Festival. The Flame Awards, in its inaugural year, recognised the achievements of organisations and individuals, of all ages, who symbolise the very best of Hertfordshire’s arts and culture.

I was delighted to have been nominated (thank you, whom ever you are) and then to become a finalist.

The awards evening was  well attended and a really uplifting experience for all involved. As well as awards being announced,  it also featured performances from talented young people in the Heart of Flame Festival, the county’s cultural celebration of work by young people for young people and an interview by the inspirational Suzie Birchwood, dancer, choreographer and artistic director of ActOne ArtsBase.
