Seventeen of ALVA’s top students from 2011 were recognised for their exceptional work in both practical and theoretical subjects at the Annual Prize-Giving Ceremony and exhibition opening held on Thursday 10 May.

Winthrop Professor Bill Louden, recipients and their guests, prize donors and staff of the Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Visual Arts attended the evening.

Following a brief address by the Dean, Winthrop Professor Simon Anderson, Mayor Alannah MacTiernan, Mayor of the City of Vincent, delivered an inspiring lecture which touched on the importance of each of the Faculty’s facets of learning, both within their field of education and their translation into practice. With the assistance of the Dean, Mayor MacTiernan then presented the 2011 prize recipients with their awards.
