This year's exhibition opening was another spectacular event, with so many members and friends attending. And the range and number of entries was truly impressive!

The effort that goes into administrating and installing the annual exhibition each year is immense and our deepest thanks go to all who were involved, in particular Yasmin Davis who leads a team in installing such a fantastic display every year.

We are so grateful to our sponsors, who make the awards ceremony possible, and give us a vehicle to recognise the talent among our membership. This year our exhibition awards were supported by BotPots, Kiwi Underglaze, CCG, Yasmin and Mark Davis, Jenni Taris, Farmer Jones Organics and our wonderful anonymous Premier sponsor.

Our judge this year was Richard Fahey. Richard is a senior lecturer within the School of Creative Industries, Unitec, Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland. His research activity has largely focused on material culture within Aotearoa via the historical and institutional contexts of education, collection and exhibition. These activities take the form of writing, curating and active participation in the visual arts sector as a teacher, speaker, assessor and advocate. You can view his award choices below.
