The five winners of the Charman Prize have been announced by the Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art, with the $10,000 best in show prize going to Nahshon Hollis for A Colourful Neighbour.

The biennial visual arts competition was founded in 2008, and is open to any artist in or from Bermuda.

The eleventh round of the prizes, under the theme of “The Local Seen — Bermuda and Bermudians in the Modern World” accepted any interpretation, with the caveat of the work being Bermuda-inspired.

A further four artists took prizes of $2,500 each.

Building the Roof by Otto Trott took the award for design and composition.

Fragments of Memory by Nadiyah Brown won the award for use of material.

Leaves of Time by Phoebe Hughes won the award for distinctive and convincing Style.

The award for source of inspiration went to Dawn's Embrace: Flatts Bridge at Sunrise by Montoya Lawrence.

After more than 500 votes were counted, the people’s choice award went to Before The Tempest by Faraz Pourreza-Jorshari.

An honourable mention went to Mr Hollis, just one vote behind.

Leaves of Time by Phoebe Hughes also won the Masterworks collection prize, making it a part of Masterworks' permanent collection.

The latest round received 104 entries, with 80 works accepted and showcased.

Throughout the exhibition, Masterworks invited the public to take part in five curated artist talks, delving into the stories behind the artists and their work.

Three international art professionals judged the entries.

The trio consisted on Amanda Coulson, founding director of the Tern Gallery in the Bahamas; Madeleine Haddon, curator of the V & A East campus of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and Karole Dill Barkley, an independent director at the financial services firm Goldman Sachs.

The closing ceremony was held on Thursday.
