The Graduate Art Awards

GLAISTER ENNOR GRADUATE ART AWARDS

Lucy Hughes (Elam) is the 2011 winner of the Glaister Ennor Graduate Art Awards. The winners were announced at a presentation at Oedipus Rex Gallery on 15th June. Lucy's winning entry, Five snapshot backs was a photographic print. The Barfoot & Thompson prize went to Philip Good (AUT) who also won the Glaister Ennor Staff Choice Award.

Glaister Ennor initiated the Glaister Ennor Graduate Art Awards in 2006 to help emerging artists in Auckland. Each year we ask each Auckland art school to nominate candidates for the award from its post graduate artists who are graduating that year.

Artists are asked to submit any two dimensional piece of art, to be included in an exhibition of nominees' artwork and to be judged by a panel of judges.

The awards are held in conjunction with Oedipus Rex Art Gallery who offer an opportunity to the winning artist to exhibit at the gallery. 

First prize - Glaister Ennor award - $5000 (non aquisitional) plus the opportunity to exhibit at the Oedipus Rex Gallery, 32 Lorne Street, Auckland

2nd prize - Barfoot & Thompson award -$3000

Glaister Ennor Staff Choice Award - $500
