Winner of the Overall Encouragement Award was Ashdale Secondary College student Joanne Le for her mixed media exhibit Jungle Asians, which the judges said was “intelligent and sensitive.”

Using ‘short sighted’ as a metaphor, Joanne draws viewers in through getting viewers to focus and refocus on the piece.

There were two winners of the Resident Encouragement Award, Ashdale Secondary College student Yasmine Mnahy and Wanneroo Secondary College student Tia Pindoriya.

Yasmine’s work Women in STEAM represents the many layers of ideas and aspirations people have, while Tia’s Holy Cow marks the changing status of cultural symbols.

The People’s Choice Award will be presented to the artist who receives the most votes from people who visit the exhibition.
