Congratulations to our Winner!

Congratulations to Sue de Vanny who took out First Place with her entry Grow Around You in the AQC Challenge In Full Bloom, winning $3500 prize money for this amazing work.

This year’s theme is at first apparent and yet still open to various interpretations, and the results must be seen to be believed!

Entries feature traditional designs and contemporary styles too, and you can appreciate the fabulous, joyful results of the finalists’ works and vote for your favourite in Viewers Choice.

An amazing cash prize pool of $5,500 is on offer including the $500 Viewers Choice prize.

Winners, except Viewers Choice, announced on Wednesday April 12 at the Cocktail Party at AQC.
