New Culture Vannin award to celebrate learning Manx

A special award has been launched to recognise and celebrate young people learning Manx.

Culture Vannin has announced the annual 'Sophia Morrison Award'.

It will be gifted to the highest grading under-18 student in Teisht Chadjin Ghaelgagh (GCSE equivalent), in the Manx language. 

The first award will be made this year and will recognise the success of a student sitting a TCG in 2022.

£500 and an engraved medal will be given to the successful student, and a specially created ‘Cair Vie’ trophy, in the shape of a Viking longship.
