The judges assessed 859 entries from students across NSW, and chose 66 finalists. The finalists from the North Coast Institute of TAFE NSW were:
The three judges, artist and sculptor Marguerite Derricourt, designer, Liane Rossler and artist/film maker Mark Titmarsh, were thrilled to see the variety of works from talented TAFE NSW students across the state. "It is evident that TAFE NSW is an energetic, vibrant environment for students, enabling them to engage with the contemporary world and communities and giving them the skills to reflect on past histories. It was a pleasure to see the levels of expert design, craft and art skills meshed with personal, political, environmental and aesthetic expression" said the judges. The Minister for Education and Training, Dr Andrew Refshauge, opened the 2004 finalists’ exhibition and announced the category and Grand Prize winner at a gala presentation on Thursday 25 November 2004. Kelly Robinson, an Arts and Media student at Kingscliff TAFE Campus has won the 2D Design Category in the 2004 TAFE NSW Art and Design Prize. Ms Robinson collected the $1000 prize cheque at the opening in Sydney and said that she was thrilled with winning. “It has been a big year for me and this is a really great early Christmas present!” Earlier in 2004, Ms Robinson had also won the North Coast Institute Student of the Year as well as the Achievement Award for the Arts and Media category.
