Noosa Regional Gallery has repackaged their Scholarship into one that is focused on supporting 3D artists and also inviting national applicants. The winner of the open section will receive $12,000 plus a solo exhibition at the Noosa Regional Gallery within 18 months of the scholarship being awarded. Australian artists, designers and craftspeople working in any 3D medium are encouraged to take advantage of this unique opportunity and have until the 31 May to submit their entries.
The purpose of the scholarship is to enable the winner to undertake study or training interstate or overseas. This may be through a recognised art institution, participation in short-term workshops or study with a nominated artist. Forty finalists will be selected from entries submitted to a pre-selection panel. The finalist exhibition will be held at the Noosa Regional Gallery, 29 July to 29 August 2010.
In addition to the main prize, student prizes of Tertiary and Secondary categories are open to Sunshine Coast students. For the Tertiary prize the winner will receive a $2000 scholarship towards study overseas or in Australia, plus an exhibition in the Foyer Space of the Noosa Regional Gallery. The Secondary Student prize is $1000 towards study programs in Australia.
There will also be a People’s Choice Award where members of the public can vote for their favorite artist. The winner of this award will be announced 20 August 2010.
