Sculpture prize not given…
The Age Sept 16… Richest Sculpture Prize Scrapped…
Judges decree the Lempriere sculpture prize entries were not good enough to make the award this year.
I guess the big issue about this could be that the entries this year were by invitation only, and in the past it was open slather for sculptors to apply. Perhaps someone felt the invitation only (by a panel of experts in the field) would probably cut down on the work involved in choosing works.
In the end the only winners are the organisers, that save the cash for next time and have kept their workload to a minimum. The sculptors on the other hand have wait and see what happens and will they be “Up To Standard” next time?

Hooray! The attempt to further create a “closed shop” for sculpture goes to shit. Doesn’t happen often, but warrants cracking a bubbly if you ask me!
apparently my comment is awaiting “moderation”. Whatever the hell that means???? All I said was sh#t!
Mary, thanks for the comments, the moderation bit helps to stop the scammologists getting in and spoiling the “the paintwork” as it were. The net is a fast paced place to be, and the scammers can be even faster!
