“In Waverley we are supportive of a number of art programs. We are delighted there were so many entries. The talent is nothing short of amazing.
“This award is really about celebrating the importance of art and making. Last night was lovely and I was delighted to attend and award prizes to so many young creative artists.
“Congratulations not only to our winners but to everyone who participated – everyone deserved to take home a prize.
