| 2009 Contest Comments |
| |
The first national Art Speaks Japanese Comes Alive! Contest has been a great success!
We received over 200 entries from all over Australia – a most impressive response.
The contest was judged by Ann MacArthur and Leeanne Carr, Coordinators of Asian and Secondary Education Programmes at the Art Gallery of NSW. As there was a great range of creativity and skill displayed in the entries, they found the task of choosing winners very rewarding but difficult. Due to the large number entries from primary schools, we created a separate Primary division.
All the entries were displayed at the Japan Foundation Gallery for one week in November. The stunning display completely filled our gallery and attracted many visitors! |

| Important points for future entries |
| |
In some cases, entries did not meet all the criteria of the contest. In particular, the entries need to have a direct connection to the Art Speaks Japanese resource kit, whether it be to the artworks themselves or the related tasks. There is a section in the application form where students explain which artwork/s from the resource kit inspired them, and the process they went through to create their entry. If possible, this should be the students’ own words, even if the teacher actually writes them down.
Another criterion is the use of Japanese language in the entries. Ideally there should be some language in the work itself, but at least the title of the entry and the student’s name should be written by the student. |
