At the Summer Exhibition of the CCA Galleries International, the RURAL Jersey Landscape Awards, first, second and third prize, was awarded to Louise Ramsay, Graham Tovey and Anna Frances Le Moine.
The RURAL prizes were judged and awarded by David Benest (BCR Law), Donna Le Marrec (National Trust for Jersey), Alasdair Crosby and Gary Grimshaw (RURAL Magazine).
Louise Ramsay took first prize with her picture Coast Land, St Mary. She received a prize of a cheque for £500, sponsored by BCR Law.
Graham Tovey took second prize with Teal Serenity, and received his prize of a free weekend at Le Catel Fort, St Mary, sponsored by the National Trust for Jersey.
Anna Frances Le Moine took third prize with her painting, Vision, and received a £150 cheque from BCR Law.
The judging for this competition, now in its fifth year, is separate from the main summer exhibition.
This year, the RURAL magazine competition and the awards evolved to include an afternoon seminar on seeds and seed cultivation, given by Sheena Brockie. This underlines the competition’s connection further with agriculture, the community and countryside, which are the three core elements of RURAL magazine.
The 2024 Exhibition’s Summer Prize was jointly awarded to artists Paige Le Geyt with the work Amorphous 25 (Contained) and Eleanor Nugent with the work Desert.
The Gallery Magazine Graphic Arts Prize was awarded to Mick Humpage with the work Milan.
The gallery will be closed for its summer break from 5 August, reopening
Monday 2 September. CCA Galleries International is developing a programme of events for 2024 and 2025. Join their mailing list and follow their EVENTBRITE page to be first to know when they go online. Or e-mail enquiries@ccagalleriesinternational.com
