BTX Learner Of the Year Competition

This February & March, we will be hosting two Regional Heats in search of the best up-and-coming industry talent.

Level 2 and 3 Painting & Decorating learners and apprentices from colleges nationwide will compete in a live practical project for the chance to become the Learner of the Year.  Learners must be 25 years or younger at the time of entry.

Each Regional Winner and Runner-Ups will go on to compete in the Grand Final in April.
This competition is designed to encourage and inspire future generations of Painting & Decorating tradespeople and help build their confidence within the industry.

There are fantastic prizes up for grabs, and every competitor receives a certificate to celebrate their achievement.

This year’s competition is proudly supported by an outstanding line-up of sponsors, including our Headline sponsor Johnstone’s Paints, Tesa UK, Ciret, Snickers Workwear and our official Judging Partner the Association of Painting Craft Teachers (APCT).

If you already have a learner in mind and are ready to apply, reserve their space today…it’s first-come, first-served!

Please note that only one participant can be entered per college or campus until 31st October. After this date, colleges are able to put forward an additional participant on a first-come, first-served basis.

Participants who have previously reached the BTX Painting & Decorating Learner of the Year Grand Final are not eligible to enter the competition again.
