We are delighted to announce that the winner of the People's Choice Award is Melting Snow, South Downs, 2024 [SDO162] by artist Tim Mullins.

During the South Downs Open exhibition, visitors were invited to vote for their favourite entry in the Over 18 category. With over 1,000 votes cast, Mullins' striking landscape captured the hearts of many, earning the most votes in this competition.

Upon hearing the news, Mullins shared his gratitude, saying: "What a lovely surprise. It's really good to know that people thought my painting was worth voting for and I'm delighted to have won the People's Choice Award."

In his artist statement, Mullins describes his work as follows:
