Last chance to catch Steinbeck Dustbowl Photo Exhibition at Roe Valley Arts and Cultural Centre

Part of the Steinbeck Festival, which this year is themed around ‘The Journey’, the judging panel was tasked with selecting entries that best encapsulated Steinbeck’s legacy.

The competition attracted many superb photographs, showcasing a great variety of thematic interpretations, many of which could easily be imagined gracing the dust cover of a Steinbeck novel.

20 photographs were selected for the exhibition, with the overall winner John Williams presented with a bespoke piece of pottery made by acclaimed local potter, Adam Frew.

Three others were selected for special commendation due to the high standard.

The Mayor of Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council, Councillor Ivor Wallace said: “I was very pleased to attend the exhibition launch event, and present John with his prize as our very worthy winner.

“Once again the organisers and judges were greatly encouraged by the interest in this competition, and the high standard of entries received were superb.

“Last year’s exhibition was a widely acclaimed success, visited in person and virtually by over 2000 viewers, and I am sure this latest collection will prove to be just as popular.”

The exhibition is free to visit and open to the public until Saturday, March 25.
