Corinthia Hotel London welcomed the UK Minister for Culture Ed Vaizey and his esteemed panel of judges, including Downton Abbey's Dan Stevens, to announce the winner of the five star hotel's inaugural arts patronage initiative, the Corinthia Artist in Residency.

Noemie Goudal has been selected as the first ever Corinthia Resident, and will benefit from her one month residency at Corinthia to create a collection of work to be exhibited in the hotel in April 2012.

The main aim of the Artist in Residency initiative is to foster the best of our young home grown talent from across different arts disciplines, this year focusing on photography.

The judging panel was comprised of some of the UK's leading voices on the arts and design scene:
Ed Vaizey, Minister for Culture
Dan Stevens, Actor, Downton Abbey
Ben Evans, Director, London Design Festival
Amanda Nevill, Director, British Film Institute
Caroline Rush, CEO, British Fashion Council
Josie Rourke, Artistic Director, The Donmar Warehouse
Jan Dalley, Arts Editor, Financial Times

Over 1,000 recent photography graduates from British art schools all over the country were considered for the position after responding to a creative brief focusing on different views of our vibrant cultural capital.

Noemie graduated in her MA photography at The Royal College of Art in 2010.
