This competition started as an idea of mine, David Ruthström, when one day I looked over the walls in Bygdegården on Fårö.
I thought "the best of Fårö should be seen here". I realized that if we organize a competition and make it annual, we will one day be able to look over the walls together and think "Here is the best of Fårö".
Born and raised in Fårö and has studied graphic design and film production.
