A total prize pool of $15,000 will be shared by three primary prize-winners, a new arrival prize and eight honourable mentions. First prize is $5000 plus a solo exhibition and artist in residence opportunity. Entries close on Friday May 6. For more info call 9417 6777 or visit Multicultural Arts Victoria.
