Time to shine for arts and cultural students
Entries are now being accepted for this year’s Arts & Cultural Awards, which recognise excellence in all areas of the arts, from literature, music, craft and drama to facilitation and the visual arts.
“Winning one of these awards is a great addition to any CV,” says Bettina Gohl Student City co-ordinator. “Winners will also receive a small financial reward and a certificate. Students work hard all year and these awards give them a chance to showcase their skills and be rewarded for their talents.”
The awards are open to students at Massey University, UCOL, Te Wānanga o Aotearoa, International Pacific College or any secondary school in Palmerston North or Feilding.
A panel of neutral judges with professional backgrounds will review all the applications, which must be entered before 9 September. The awards night will be on 9 October in the Palmerston North Convention Centre. The nomination form is available on www.studentcity.co.nz
The categories are:
• Best Cultural Contribution
• Best Literary Artist
• Best Visual Artist
• Best Musical Artist
• Best Artistic Facilitation
• Best Drama/Performing Arts Artist
• Best Craftsperson
• Best Young Artist (High School Student)
• Artist of the Year
