The winning work Death of Voss by Thomas Gleghorn became the linchpin of what has grown to become an excellent collection of contemporary Australian painting, works on paper and ceramics from the second half of the 20th century and now the first decade of the 21st century. Now in it’s 42nd iteration, the acquisitive Muswellbrook Art Prize sees paintings, works on paper and ceramics submitted from a wide national group of upcoming, well-known and established artists. CCP Documentary Photography Award Lisa Wiltse, Chaqui Baths 2010 digital lambda print 32 x 48 cm edition of 30; 8th CCP Documentary Photography Award; Image used courtesy of the artist. The CCP Documentary Photography Award is a biennial showcase of contemporary Australian documentary photography. Since the inaugural exhibition in 1997, this event has grown in profile and significance. This exhibition, the eighth CCP Documentary Photography Award, demonstrates the breadth of contemporary approaches to documentary practice from traditional black and white narratives through to vibrant colour, all of which have been achieved without digital man manipulation. Open to established and aspiring photographers using either analogue or digital cameras, entries are ‘judged blind’ by a panel of experts.
