Judging Panel
Dr Sue Armstrong
Artistic Director & Trustee of SCAF
Sue Armstrong is the Founder of the Scott Creative Arts
Foundation and the current Artistic Director. Sue was a close
friend of Michael and Eileen Scott and is dedicated to realising
their wishes through the work of the Foundation. Providing
support and encouragement to emerging artists was a major
priority for the Scott’s and to be holding the fourth SCAF
emerging artist award is a testament to her commitment to
SCAF. Sue, like the Scotts is a passionate believer in the value
of the synergistic relationship between arts and science.
Jane Young
Curator of SCAF
Jane has had the privilege to be a part of SCAF as the Gallery
Curator since 2016, having met Michael Scott on a couple of
occasions he gave her the inspiration and energy to work with
the SCAF team to help create a Foundation that she hopes
both he and Eileen would be proud of. Jane has a longterm
passion for arts, wellbeing and through this connection
continues to find ways to encourage and promote art and
artists in the creative process.
