Waikato secondary schools art competition to include part of Auckland
A secondary school art competition which has previously been held in the Waikato / Coromandel is to be expanded this year to include the area around Newmarket in Auckland.
The competition is again being supported by Creative Waikato and sponsored by Paterson Burn Optometrists and is being expanded to Auckland to allow the company’s Newmarket Optik practice to be included. This is the third year the competition has been held.
The competition offers prize money and an opportunity for secondary school art students to get recognition and publicity for their work. Two thousand dollars in cash prizes are being offered as part of the 2015 Excellence in Art Competition. Prize money is split between winning artists and their schools.
Last year there were 67 entries from year 12 and 13 art students in Waikato / Coromandel areas with a similar number of entries in the first year of the competition. The theme for this year’s event is “Through the looking glass”.
Students will again have the opportunity to sell their artworks in an on-line auction. They will receive 80 per cent of the proceeds with 20 per cent being donated to Diabetes Waikato.
All artworks will be displayed at Paterson Burn practices before being exhibited at Creative Waikato’s gallery in April. Entries will be accepted for the competition from Monday 9 February with a close-off date of Friday 20 March. Entry forms and additional information about the Excellence in Art Competition is available on the Paterson Burn website www.patersonburn.co.nz
The winners of the Excellence in Art Competition will be announced at the awards presentation evening on Thursday 23 April.
Senior Paterson Burn Optometrists partner Adrian Paterson says it is tremendous to see the art competition returning again and to see it expanding to the suburbs around Newmarket.
“We’ve been very pleased with the way the competition has taken hold over the last two years and with the opportunity that it provides for art students to get exposure for their work. Obviously with the inclusion of secondary schools in and around the Newmarket area there is a great chance to make the competition even more successful,” he says.
