The winners of the Linocut Competition have been selected! We saw many fantastic entries for our Linocut Competition and had a really tough time narrowing them down into a shortlist. Jackson’s judging panel have chosen the first prize winner (winning £150 worth of Jackson’s vouchers) and after one week of voting, the public have chosen their 3 winners who each win £50 worth of Jackson’s vouchers. We would like to thank everyone for submitting your work and to those of you that voted for supporting and promoting the artists that entered!
First Prize Winner (winner of £150 Jackson’s Vouchers)
‘Kerry Hedgerow’ by Alison Deegan
A reduction lino cut celebrating the surprisingly exotic hedgerows of County Kerry. Produced from two lino plates, one for the greens and one for the hot colours, each plate was reduced several times. Nine different shades of custom-mixed ink have been combined to produce a rich and lush image. The printed area measures approximately 32x22cm

‘This is a two process reduction, with the first stage having two blues inked on the block, one for the sky and the other darker one for the buildings and pier. It is an edition of 30, 25cm wide and 35 cm tall. Portsoy is where my family comes from, on the Banffshire Coast, a beautiful 17th century harbour.’
