Overall first place for the Ovid 2024 competition went to Ishmal from Ark Boulton! Ishmal submitted a 6 page reimaging of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth, recast as the ‘tale of two devoted sisters who dedicated their time and life for each other’ Classics for All CAHA UoB


In additional to the individual prizes, Ark Boulton also receives a £250 book voucher to spend at the Hellenic Bookservice - hopefully inspiring even more pupils to get involved with mythology competitions in the years to come! Classics for All CAHA UoB
