The National Drawing Award people's choice is a draw!

ARTSPACE, The Physics Room and Enjoy are pleased to announce the People’s Choice Award 2008/2009.

This year two artists share the honour of the People’s Choice Award; the drawings of Chloe Marsters and Casey O’Connell were chosen, and as a result each will take home $500 cash and $150 credit with Gordon Harris. Big ups Chloe and Casey. Their drawings are featured below.

The Peep's Choice Award offered a chance for visitors to the Auckland and Christchurch exhibitions to have an active role in judging part of the competition by popular vote. Enjoy's audience will get to see these and the rest of the National Drawing Award entries from next Friday.
