BOSCOMBE residents and visitors have shown their artistic flair with an abundance of entries for the 2015 Boscombe Regeneration Partnership calendar competition.

Paintings, drawings and photos were submitted by amateur artists illustrating the theme of a ‘Celebration of Boscombe.’ The overall winner of the competition, pictured, was Judith Shires who paints under her maiden name of Judith Rowe. She wins £100 of high street vouchers.

Judith said: “I love Boscombe and it has given me great pleasure to contribute in this way to its regeneration. I have lived in the area for 37 years and worked for 24 years at a solicitors’ on the corner of Sea Road until its closure last year.

“I have sold and exhibited my paintings in the past in the Royal Arcade art shops.”

Cllr Jane Kelly, cabinet member for partnerships and regeneration, said: “Congratulations to the winner and a big thank you to all those artists who entered the competition, once again highlighting the fact that Boscombe is home to a diverse and talented artistic community.”

The calendar will be available from Boscombe Library from tomorrow.
