JUDGES
Our judges for the Murihiku and Central Lakes Art Exhibition and Awards will be announced later in the year.
Each of our judges have a strong background in the arts, and are knowledgable in a wide variety of mediums. They spend several days carefully considering each art entry before choosing a winner.
Winners are contacted prior to the awards night, where our judges will present the awards and explain why each piece was selected. Judges decisions are final.
