Prize money up for grabs for Aboriginal artists<br />
Community news for <strong>Wollombi</strong> and surrounding districts<br />
<strong>Issue</strong> <strong>317</strong> - <strong>Our</strong> <strong>Own</strong> <strong>News</strong> - <strong>December</strong> <strong>2009</strong><br />
A total of $2000 in prize money is on offer to local Aboriginal artists entering the 2010 NPWS Aboriginal Art Competition.<br />
Aboriginal people are invited to submit original artworks to the competition which will provide an opportunity for local artists<br />
across the Central Coast and Hunter Regions.<br />
National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) Regional Manager Tom Bagnat said that the art competition was an exciting new<br />
program which would highlight the talent of local Aboriginal artists.<br />
“This competition is a great opportunity for artists, both young and old, to demonstrate their skills and show their work.<br />
“We are looking forward to receiving a vibrant and diverse range of entries that address the theme of “Connection to Country –<br />
Central Coast / Hunter”.<br />
“It’s clear that local Aboriginal people have a connection to the landscape. We hope that this art competition will encourage artists<br />
to express this connection and allow them to share their stories,” said Mr Bagnat.<br />
Entries will be accepted for two categories, Open and Youth (17 years and under). The prizes consist of:<br />
Open 1st Prize $1,000<br />
2nd Prize $ 500.00<br />
Youth 1st Prize $ 300.00<br />
2nd Prize $ 200.00<br />
Completed entry forms together with a photograph of the entered artwork are required by 17th February 2010. Entries will be<br />
short listed using the photos and those selected by the judges will be required to send their artwork in for final judging by<br />
8th March 2010.<br />
The competition is co-sponsored by National Parks and Wildlife Service and the Central Coast Hunter Range Regional Aboriginal<br />
Co-management Committee.<br />
