What Makes this event different?
Uniquely, The John Byrne Award accepts creative work in all disciplines, with entries being judged on how effectively they are able to encourage the questioning and development of values appropriate to our modern age, rather than by purely aesthetic criteria. Our judging criteria ask whether the creative work and explanation is… Reasoned? Constructive? Compelling?
