Please see the attached photo taken today at a prize-giving ceremony for Mirrors’ 2nd Annual Art and Digital Competition which was hosted at The Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art.
The focus of the competition was Bermuda’s cultural symbols, its way of life, neighborhoods and its people. Over 100 pieces of art were displayed at the Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art from July 6 – August 6, 2018. The event was in partnership with the Mirrors Alumni & Friends Association, AXIS and Masterworks.
The winning categories were selected by three community judges for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place awards at the primary, middle and high school levels. The “People’s Choice” awards for primary, middle and senior school levels were decided by the public vote during the exhibit. The names of the category winners are below.
