This visual art prize exhibition is part of the Association of
Commonwealth Universities (ACU) Conference. The aim of the prize
is to offer an opportunity for tertiary student artists from Conference
host countries, Australia and New Zealand, to create a work of art
which reflects the personal or cultural complexities of life in their
communities. Thirty-one works were selected from sixty-four
entries submitted and they represent artists from nineteen Australian
universities.
Both prizes are acquisitive in nature and the winning works will
become part of ACU London Head Office Collection and the University
of Adelaide Visual Art Collection respectively.
