Here is the blurb!

"The CoCA/Anthony Harper Award for Contemporary Art is valued at $10,000 and in 2007 received more than 300 entries from throughout New Zealand. The judge for this year’s award is well-known New Zealand artist, Dick Frizzell whose work was the subject of a major retrospective, Portrait of a Serious Artiste, curated by Alan Smith at the City Gallery Wellington in 1977. The winner will be announced at a special function, Tuesday 29th June at 5.30pm. To attend please contact COCA for further details. (reception@coca.org.nz) This will be a ticketed function with wine and food and is available to members with a 20% discount ($8.00)."

If you find yourself in Christchurch on the 29th, attend the opening, it should be very good, and ensure you drop in to the gallery before the 16th of June to see the exhibition. The winner will be announced on the opening night, and you can also see a list of the finalists and as of the 30th the details of the winnner and judges statement on their website www.coca.org.nz
