We thank all the artists who send in an entry for the FSE Art Contest. We received a wide variety of artwork some with surprising quality that pleased us very much.
The overall winner of the contest is Olivier Gradot from France in the category Painting and Sketching for his “Exploration Diary”. His book of 17 pages is a story of caving friendship, compiling an extract of his memories of the explorations he made with his caving fellows. Olivier will receive the main prize, a Scurion head-lamp, kindly provided by the contest sponsor Scurion from Switzerland.
