the long awaited International Collage Association award winner
for "paint C" category announced today, December 20, 2008, is
P. L. Phillips
Our judges' comments: Ms Phillips is best known for her international reputation as a sender and receiver of postcards, even postal workers have been known to comment on the sheer volume of postcards that make their way to her mailbox. However, we are proud to acknowledge her more recent contributions to collage art, as clearly evidenced in "Autumn Colours" (above).
Her creativity and resourcefulness are indeed worthy of recognition. Just as a further remark, as a Canadian entry it is interesting to note the use of both official languages.
We would like to thank everyone who entered this year's competition and send special congratulations to Ms Phillips. In keeping with ICA traditions, a private award ceremony will be held later this year to honour our winner.

Congratulations, great work!
Looks like a post-modern interpretation of Henry Matisse's "The Snail".
Scandal!!! The International Collage Association admits that this year’s choice for the coveted collage award is now mired in controversy. The allegations of PLAGIARISM have been now been confirmed. Post card artist, P L Phillips, tried to pass off the naming of the paint chips as original works when in fact they were taken directly from Benjamin Moore. The Association is also investigating the mysterious disappearance of the much-touted “Blue” PC, thought by many to be a serious contender for the award.
