YOUNG ARTISTS' COMPETITION 2011

The exhibition and prize giving for this year's Young Artists' Competition took place at the end of March. The competition was run with the invaluable help and support of the Ayuntamiento of San Roque and included entries from six schools within the San Roque catchment area: IES Hosteleria, IES Carlos Castilla Del Pino, IES Jose Cadalso, IES Mar Del Sur, IES Sierra Almenara, and Sotogrande International School.

There were two prizes, one sponsored by The Soveriegn Group for €150, which was decided by members' vote, and the main DFAS de la Frontera prize of €500. The main prize was judged by a panel consisting of three distinguished artists: Gines Serran Artist & Sculptor, Carlos Pacheco Cartoonist, and Nestor Plada Artist - along with the participating schools' headmasters and art teachers. We are very grateful to all of them for agreeing to participate and for giving us their time.

We are also extremely appreciative of all those members who took the time and trouble to visit the exhibition and/or vote online; the event would not have been possible without your involvement and support.

The variety and quality of the works submitted made judging the winners very difficult. If you have any doubt please click here to see all the finalists. However, winners were selected and our congratulations goes to them.
