Theme
The theme was global poverty and how we can make it history.
We want the exhibition to feature unique and compelling artwork from artists who are using their art to create awareness of the Millennium Development Goals and the Make Poverty History campaign.
Entries went before a panel of renowned Australian art judges and those selected will become part of a grand exhibit from 19 - 28 July 2007 (Halfway point of the Millenium Development Goals) at the Fine Art Galleries of the Victorian Artists' Society in Melbourne.
