The first category ‘Color Prints’Â saw our own John Hooton taking both first and third place.
In the ‘Mono Prints’ Morgan O’Neill came second with a new and original image of the Rossbeigh boat.
Also in the mono section Rodney O’Callaghan took a well deserved third place. Speaking after the competition, Rodney expressed his surprise in doing so well and his delight in beating James Heffernan.
