2026 Competition
We would to thank all of the artists who took the time and effort to enter the art competition this year.
The committee were overwhelmed with the quality of the paintings which were of such diverse styles. We were glad we did not have to decide the winner.
After two days of voting at the Mudeford Arts Festival, with 992 votes on the Saturday and 614 votes on the Sunday, the winner was announced at 4pm on the Sunday.
The winning picture this year was submitted by Marie Penniston. A three time winner.
