The five finalists as well as the five semi-finalists, who are all Grade 11 learners doing Visual Arts or Design at the PJ Olivier Art Centre received their prizes from Isabel Verwey. She is the founder of the Proud Partners organization, that sponsored the prizes awarded on the PJ Olivier Art Centre’s birthday event – the first Saturday of spring.
This marketing initiative was the brainchild of Isabel , who is on the governing body of the PJ Olivier Art Centre and she was assisted by Christelle Lamprecht, also a governing body member, and Debbie de Beer, Visual Arts educator at the art centre, in organising the competition.
