UPLYME: Uplyme couple named winners of unique jubilee art contest

LYME Regis artist Christine Allison has announced the winners of her competition to guess the 60 events depicted in her Diamond Jubilee picture “Sixty Years”.

The picture was displayed in the recent exhibition at the Town Mill Galleries, organised by ArtsFest and the Town Mill Arts Guild. It created much interest and speculation amongst the public.

There were 22 entrants to the competition but Jack and Imogen Thomas of Uplyme were the outright winners with 59 correct answers.

Mr Thomas said: “It was such fun. We really enjoyed the challenge but did have to do quite a bit of research before handing in our entry form.”

Artist Christine said: “I was after 60 correct answers but 59 was the highest score, so I was happy to give Jack and Imogen £59 in prize money. Well done to them both!”

The competition was sponsored by Harry May Boat Trips (07974 753287) and the actual picture was bought by a visitor to the exhibition from Birmingham.

If you entered the competition and want to check your answers, they are available in the news section of the website www.lymeregis.org
