Justice Amoh, a Visual Arts student of Prempeh College, notably one of the best artist of the school had the chance to visit the United Kingdom for four days after he was pronounced the best artist in the whole of Ghana. This started when the Unilever Company, Britain brought a letter to the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports inviting Ghana to take part in a competition organised to unveil the potential of students in the art field.

The Ministry also directed the letter to some notable schools in Ghana namely Prempeh College, Mfantsipim, Yaa Asantewaa, St.Louis, Adisadel College, Wesley Girls, Holy Child, St Augustine's College, St. Peters Sec, Presec and KNUST.

Each school was given a theme with which the students were to carry out their art on. In all 105 students participated. The judges were from the United Kingdom so they was no favouritism whatsoever as that is the case in Ghana.
