An awards presentation for the National Day poster competition was held today at the Mario Finlayson National Art Gallery.

This new competition was launched in June 2023 with the aim of finding an innovative design which could be used by Gibraltar Cultural Services to promote its National Day Programme of Events. The competition, which was a success, was organised in collaboration with the Self Determination for Gibraltar Group, attracted a remarkable total of 61 entries from talented local students.

The Minister for Equality, Employment Culture and Tourism, The Hon Christian Santos GMD MP, presented the following award:
