The Mirrors Programme’s tenth anniversary student art competition is under way.

Reflections of Bermuda officially opened at the Rick Faries Gallery at the Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art last Friday.

Members of the public will be able to cast their votes for their favourite pieces at the primary, middle and high school levels until August 16.

Kimberley Jackson, programme manager for Mirrors, encouraged the community to visit the exhibit.

“It is inspiring to see the talents of Bermuda’s young people and their ability to express what Bermuda means to them,” she said.

Zane DeSilva, minister of Social Development and Sports, said that more than 100 submissions were received.

“Students have done a fantastic job of artistically expressing Bermuda’s cultural symbols, way of life, and neighbourhoods,” he said.

Judging on the exhibit took place on opening night. Winners will be notified after the exhibit has closed and voting by the public has concluded.

Prizes for winners will be awarded in September.

The Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art is open from 10am to 4pm Monday to Saturday. General admission is $5 for non-members and free to members and children under the age of 12.
