Vote for the best Jubilee portrait

OVER the last few weeks your Argus has been asking children across Gwent to send us their portraits of the Queen to mark her Diamond Jubilee.

We have had a fantastic response to our competition with hundreds of entries received from youngsters aged 14 and under across Gwent.

The winning young artist will receive an iPad and see their portrait used on the cover of a special Argus Diamond Jubilee supplement, which will be sent to Buckingham Palace as a gift for the Queen.

Now it us up to Argus readers to decide the winner of our Jubilee Portraits competition.

Below you will see the 10 portraits selecting as our final shortlist.

You can vote for your favourite by telephone or text. Lines will stay open until midnight on Sunday and the winner will be announced next week.

You can vote in these simple ways:

By Phone:
