 COMPETITION RESULTS.
​Our judge, Catherine Bunn commented as follows"
 “I so enjoyed looking at the card entries. They are all amazing! It is great that there was a range of media and that all the cards were unique. Honestly they are all fantastic. I could spend all morning commenting on them. The work that has gone into them is excellent. You are all very talented and have a lot of patience”.

​First Prize goes to Jackie Herbert for her painting “The Unexpected Guest”.  
 
Catherine comments "The reason I chose this is because when I opened it, it made me chuckle and every time I look at it, it brings a smile to my face. With this difficult year it is great to have something that makes you smile".
