The Hon. Kathy Lynn Simmons, JP, MP, Attorney-General, and Minister of Legal Affairs and Constitutional Reform, is pleased to announce the Mirrors Annual Art & Digital Competition winners.  At a virtual ceremony, she shared these welcoming remarks, "Thank you for joining us here today to celebrate the talent and creativity of those who participated in the competition, hosted in partnership with the Mirrors Alumni and Friends Association."

This year's theme was "Embracing our Differences", Diversity and Inclusion.  This theme allowed our budding artists to express the creation of a Bermuda where differences are embraced and individuality celebrated.
