Devon’s Best Young Landscape Artist Competition 2021 – Results!

We are delighted to announce the results of our competition. We received a record number of entries from young artists around the county and we would like to thank them all for entering our competition. Also thank you to Exeter based landscape artist Kath Hadden, who helped us with the judging – her expertise was invaluable. Congratulations to Matilda Baker, (age 10) winner in the younger age category, for her painting of Meldon Hill, Dartmoor, and to Christopher Moore,(age 17) winner in the older age category for his mixed media painting of local legend ‘The Parson and the Clerk’. Runner up prizes have also been awarded. Congratulations to them all. For full details see https://www.cpredevon.org.uk/my-outdoors-painting/
