Christine Forrester Award
The Christine Forrester Award was created in honour of the Festival’s patron who was also one of the founders.
Christine was a passionate supporter of the arts and she sadly passed away from cancer not long after the festival of 2019.
Sponsored this year by MidBorder News, the winner of the £200 prize will be selected from the artists showing work in the Miniatures exhibition by independent judges Joanne Hilditch, High Sheriff of Herefordshire and Annie Vickerstaff, editor of the MidBorder News.
The prize will be presented during the festival by the Mayor of Kington Bob Widdowson, Christine’s husband, on Saturday 28th August at 12.30pm at the Kington Baptist Church.
