Drum roll please because the talented young Aussies who comprised SOYA’s 2010 shortlist have been refined to a mentor-chosen top three. From those top three, one eventual winner will receive $5000 in cash, $5000 in Qantas flights and a highly coveted 12-month mentorship program. Check out the finalists from each respective category below…
SOYA have also announced, for the first time in their history, a People’s Choice award which will allow the public to vote for their favourite finalist. The winning finalist will then receive $2,000 in Qantas flights and one voter (and a friend) will also win a trip Sydney to celebrate alongside SOYA’s mentors, finalists and industry leaders at the official SOYA Awards Night. It’s a great opportunity to check out an exhibition of finalist works, live performances, and to meet the creative cream of the crop.
Voting is open until midnight, November 1 but you can only vote once, so choose your favourite finalist carefully. Check out all the finalists here.
