The winner of the painting award, Mr Williams likes to base his work on memories and imagination. Lighthouses and boats are recurring subjects.

This piece won Heather Eastes from Aberystwyth the drawing prize. Welsh artist of the year was originally intended as a one off event but is now in its seventh year.

This image won Mr Tsui the photography award. Taken at last year's Swansea Dog Show, the judges compared Mr Tsui's work to that of renowned photographer Martin Parr.
