The judge was esteemed Bisto prize-winning illustrator PJ Lynch who said that Kerzia showed wonderful promise as an illustrator.

South Dublin also won the overall prize in 2003. The prize includes having the winning design made into a bookmark which is used as the official bookmark for the following year’s festival. This national competition is only in existence for 3 years so two out of three ain’t bad!
