Last year’s winner Mary Rose McCarraghe­r said: ‘ The 2017 Carlingfor­d Oyster Pearl Competitio­n was amazing. We had so much fun and laughed our way through most of it. We were treated so well and had a real sense of adding to the whole festival. I made so many new friends and actually in the end, winning was just the icing on the cake… although the €1000 prize was very nice!’.
