Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. One man's meat is another's poison. That's why one can't envy the mammoth task that faced the judge of the Royal Queensland Art Society's open competition, [i][/i]. On 7th of September, the winners of the competition were announced to a thrilled crowd at Petrie Terrace Gallery, where you can view all the selected finalists' work for free until 25th September.





To qualify for entry, the paintings and drawings had to feature the human form as an integral part of the image's composition. This year's competition was ably judged by 1994 Archibald Prize winner Francis Giacco, whose works have been displayed in both the Doug Moran and Archibald exhibitions.

Of the 72 works on show, Giacco chose as major prize winner [i]Virtue And Power (A Persistent Dilemma)[/i] by Kay Kane, who scored a massive $10,000 for her win. Second prize of $1,000 went to Lesley Shelley for [i]The Doll Collector[/i] with highly commended awards going to Scott Breton, Luke O'Reilly and Nick Leavy.







Though some have sold already, there are still some great Queensland artworks on display and available for keen collectors from beginners to the more seasoned to purchased, with prices ranging from $395 to $6,000. Visitors to the exhibit can also vote for their own favourite piece, with votes tallied and a 'People's Choice' prize of $500 being presented on the 8th of October.
