is impressed by the depth of talented young Australians creating
work of all types. This makes choosing only six winners very hard!
This year, we’ve asked applicants if they’d share
their applications with us on our website.

we’ll be adding even more applicant snapshots to our Facebook
Fan Page, along with application tips and advice, plus interviews
with 2007 winners already in London. Log
