Entries open for new architectural drawing scholarship

Victorian students undertaking a master's degree in architecture can now apply for the inaugural Sinclair-Nelson Drawing Scholarship, providing one annual candidate the opportunity to refine their architectural hand-drawing skills through an overseas educational program.

The successful applicant will receive a sum of $10,000, which will be allocated toward undertaking a course of study abroad.

The scholarship, established by the Australian Institute of Architects, was developed from an exhibition curated by architects Bob Sinclair and Roger Nelson, which showcased hand-drawn architectural illustrations by Jon Clements, Kerstin Thompson, Emma Jackson and John Wardle. The grant aims to draw greater attention to the value of the art form.

The scholarship is funded from the proceeds of the sale of works from at the exhibition.

Students in the process of completing an architecture master's degree at an accredited Victorian university will be eligible to apply.
