Year 7 student Sansita Edaggotti is amongst a group of 60 finalists in the 2024 University of New England School Acquisitive Art Prize.  This is an amazing achievement given there were 553 art entries this year from 46 schools.  The selection committee commented that there was wonderful expression of creativity and diverse styles represented which made the selection process very difficult, given the high standard across all entries. 

Congratulations to Sansita for her Junior Secondary Entry – Albert Einstein, pencil. 

The finalists will be judged by a local artist and the Director of NERAM, Rachael Parsons, will also present a Director's Choice Award.  A People’s Choice Award will be voted for over the duration of the exhibition via the online exhibition page and the winner announced at the conclusion. 

The opening of the 2024 UNESAP Let’s Hang It! exhibition will be held at 6 pm on Friday 26 July 2024 at the New England Regional Art Museum (NERAM) in Armidale and the exhibition will be on display until Sunday 11 August 2024. 

The opening of finalists’ artworks will include the announcement of prize-winners and will be an exciting event for all participants.
