We are currently looking for additional sponsors for the Art Prize.

The Sustainable Schools initiative has agreed to coordinate the Junior and Youth catergories through all schools in the ACT. To generate enthusiasm within the school communities we are looking for cash sponsorship for the top three prize winners and their schools for each of these two catergories, along with other prizes.

For the adult and sculpture catergories we are open to suggestion. At this time we hope to secure cash or voucher prizes and/or future exhibition space for the top three prizes in each catergory.
