The Walters Prize

The prize includes NZ$50,000 and an all expense paid trip to New York to exhibit at Saatchi & Saatchi’s world headquarters.
Past winners are Yvonne Todd (2002), Et Al (2004) and Francis Upritchard (2006).
Judges for the award have been Harald Szeemann (2002), Robert Storr (2004) and Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev (2006).
