We have very strong finalists were Nihar Choudary Potluri, Joseph Mietkiewicz, Patrick Haughey, Eoin Whittle & Boris Nikolov. And our judges commended the submissions by Jack Doyle, Thokozille Phiri, Emer Sexton, Ruben Kenny, Bohdan Yeriemienko, Giana Nuncio, Alan O’Regan and Ugochukwo Uzoukwu. Well done to all!
