I would just like to sincerely thank you for your email and all the information you have sent me and for the opportunity you have given me to promote my art. 

I was so wonderfully delighted to have been awarded a Special Merit Award as I have taken time to view all the magnificent works of art entered into this competition and I can't express to you how surprised and honoured I was to have been placed among such talent!!!

Once again, thank you very much and with the fresh air of confidence this has given me I look forward to hopefully entering into future competitions.
