National Gallery of Victoria.
Winner – Neville Assad-Salha $30,000

“... It is dedicated to ceramics and the works of 25 Victorian potters who show up to five pieces. As many are of monumental proportions, the exhibition is big and crowded. [...] this major, though not exhaustive, statement (exhibition) provides viewers with a vibrant overview of the current vigour and originality of contemporary ceramics.”
