On March 10, Franco-Belgian painter engraver Karel Vereycken was informed that he was selected as one of the 30 finalist of the cover contest for Spotlight Magazine.

« With over 280 participating artists from 40 countries submitting work across a wide range of styles and media, selecting only a few pieces was not an easy task. While your work was not selected for the magazine cover, I am very pleased to inform you that you have been chosen as one of 30 Contest Finalists. This distinction reflects the strength and quality of your work among a highly competitive international selection. »
