Winner Announced - Atomic Rooster Cock Show



This announcement came today from Shelley Braun at the Atomic Rooster Bistro about the winner of the Cock Show. You may recall the very basic "rooster" art I submitted using hands and feet to simulate body and comb. Materials used: gouache, construction paper, plastic window frame.

So, I did not win, did not expect to win but I did want to contribute.

Shelley writes:

The judges have spoken - the winner is ‘After the Cock Fight’ by Val Roy. 
Well done Val - it’s a very powerful piece.


The other 4 finalists were; ‘Untitled’ by Isabelle Lahaie, ‘Rooster’ by Megan Grandmaison,‘Cock of the Morning to You’ by Sara Jarvis and Facebook Favourite ‘Untitled’ by Mackenzie Donegan. ‘ Angry Cock’ by Kerry Hodgson receives special mention.  And while the above pieces collected top points, each and every piece in the exhibit was intrinsic to the success of the show. Thank you!  

The response has been brilliant. Your fans and followers, both online and in-house came out en mass to cast ballots. The COCK SHOW ART EXPO 2013 will go down as being the most diverse to date. The work was enthusiastic, it was engaging and thus received more attention than ever before. As you grow as artists, the show grows with you. I'm already looking forward to next year.


And finally, from the staff and owners of the Rooster, thank you so much for sharing - it's been a pleasure.


With immense admiration,
Shelley
