Six finalists have been selected from 400 entries and an exhibition of their works will take place in 2022 at Bayside Gallery. The six finalists artists are Moorina Bonini (VIC), Elham Eshraghian-Haakansson (WA), Nadia Hernández (NSW), Hannah Gartside (VIC), Annika Romeyn (ACT) and Emma Singer (NT).
