The trophies, donated by the Beryl Scholfield Memorial Fund, will be presented annually.

Mrs Scholfield's daughter, Louise Manders, showed them to pupils at Crowstone Prep School, in Westcliff, where she is head of drama.

She said: "My mother endlessly encouraged young people of the town in all aspects of the arts so it is with great pleasure her memorial fund is donating these trophies."

The trophies will be presented for the first time on November 17 at Crowstone Christian Centre, Westcliff.
