65 entries from 44 artists have featured in the 'Our Gibraltar' competition which has welcomed paintings, drawings, photographs and sculptures.

The Our Gibraltar competition has certainly become a staple in the run up to National Day. It opens up conversations about our favourite corners of our home, and our hopes for its future. 

The first prize in the Painting, Drawing, Prints, Digital Painting and Sculptures category went to Nataly Zelyak-Victor for Parson's Lodge Battery, with the second prize in this section going to Tyrone Anthony Vera for his sculpture shifted ground. 

In the photography section, Prem Mahtani took first prize for 'Still here' with Marvin Montado taking second for serenity. 

The overall winner of the competition was Thomas Oliver Maxwell, whose piece 'Southport Gates' proved that the 8th time's a charm. 

Tyrone Anthony Vera and Amanda Simmons received highly commended certificates.

The Exhibition is open to the public until the Friday 12th September every weekday from 9am to 4pm.
