The judging panel comprised founder member Martin Anderson MBE, the Asssociation's chair Alan Graham and Thumb Print editor Christine Morton. During the judging there was not a dry eye in the house as the judges read the deeply touching personal stories some had sent in with their entries.
The winners were:
Rodney Lunn won the person living with MND category with his design Carol singers in Trafalgar Square. Sadly Rodney died just before we were able to notify him that he had won the competition.
Eleanor Rattay won the members and people affected by MND category with her design Snow bus for a while. Eleanor’s mother died from MND two years ago and the MND Association has always been close to her heart.
Keith Wills won the staff and volunteers category with his design A touch of white.
