The triptych celebrates the achievements of The College Ystrad Mynach and its learners at its annual prize giving ceremony at Caerphilly Castle. The College is shown set in its community, a living and vibrant centre of that community. The artist has carefully stretched the perspective to set the College in a seven or eight mile stretch of the Rhymney Valley showing local features such as Tredomen Rocks, Twyn Road Chapel and The Royal Oak. The people are caricatures of many of our students, staff, governing body and a number of visitors.

Visitors to the College are also shown in this centre panel, up from the central pathway are Paul Murphy, both Glenys and Neil Kinnock, Ted Rowlands, Ron Davies and Jacques Santerre.
