On the back of coming 7th at the World Jigsaw Puzzle Championships in Spain in September 2024, Tasmanian-local, Katrina Coleman has won the Australian nationals in Melbourne on 7 December 2024.
Katrina took home the grand prize, wining a flight to Spain to compete at the World Jigsaw Puzzle Championships in September 2025. Good luck Katrina!
Katrina told us, “I certainly felt the pressure to perform well after my world’s results and it was far from a perfect build because of those nerves. It was such a relief when the puzzle was finished and I’m looking forward to representing Australia at Worlds 2025”
“The venue was superb and the buzz electric all day,” added Katrina. “I also loved the teams puzzle, an excellent choice, and representing Tassie was a thrill.”
