Antique Auto Club of The Bahamas. - The directors and members of the Antique Auto Club of The Bahamas wish to take this opportunity to congratulate those children who took part in the 11th annual Art Competition held during the Annual Steak-Out and Car Show at Arawak Cay on March 21. The club said: “Every year, it becomes more difficult to select just three winners from each of the four age groups, as the number of contestants and the quality of their pictures grows each year. The first year, we had just two children take part. This year, we had 51 artists who collectively entered 64 pictures.”

The winners are: Age 5-7, Zion Munroe (St Francis & Joseph); Kaylee LaRoda (Temple Christian); Daylan Forbes (St Francis & Joseph). Age 8-10 Matthew Reid (St Andrew’s); Ian Rodrequiz (St Francis & Joseph); Zaria Stapleton (St Francis & Joseph). Age 11-13 Tonisha Floyd (St Francis & Joseph); Nelson Gray (St Francis & Joseph); Dresyn Culmer (Aquinas College). Age 14-15 Nyesha Hutcheson (St John’s College); Terrence Penn (St Anne’s); Johnathan Damas (HO Nash Jr High).

Overall: Matthew Reid; Tonisha Floyd; Nyesha Hutcheson.
