Eastern Region Arts Award coordinator Elli Chapman said: "These young artists should feel very proud of what they have achieved, both artistically and personally."
The young people worked with professional artist Lindsey Rae who helped them to research and make their mural.
One of the artists, Katy Jane Lockerbie, said: "The arts award was a challenging project and I had an exciting and rewarding time working on it. We all became very close and it helped us expand our imagination and creativity as well as having great fun too."
