Inspired by the Sea
For the Jersey Summer Exhibition 2025, CCA Galleries International are introducing a new prize for works inspired by the sea. As an island with 50 miles of coastline of such variety it is hard not to be inspired by our coastal setting. The sea is a way of life for many islanders whether surfing, sailing, swimming, fishing or beach walking, it is part of our DNA and we could not have found a better sponsor for this prize. Madhatter surf shop, Jersey's largest stockist of surf and watersport equipment and fabulous clothing from the world leading surf brands, have generously sponsored this prize.
1st Prize £250 Madhatter voucher
2nd Prize £100 Madhatter voucher
