AWARDS
From over 76 entrants 8 finalists have been chosen, four in the fine and four in the contemporary categories, by 5 respected and independent judges.

Awards’ finalists derived their inspiration from a variety of sources – from humble household objects, flora and fauna, New Zealand history, Maori culture and the spontaneous nature of Spanish life.  They have a combined value of well over $100,000 and are as diverse as they are innovative.
