Last week saw the Design Institute of Australia's GOTYA presented across the NSW student design community.The Graduate of the Year Awards is an initiative of the NSW branch of the DIA to reward and recognise talent in 5 of the professional spheres that the DIA encompasses; it is open to any student enrolled in a recognised degree or diploma course in their final year of study at a participating NSW/ACT educational institution and the students submit a cross section of their projects from their final year.
All nominated students (including iscd's Dual Diploma Graduate Catherine Morgan, pictured above), their families, friends and participating colleges were invited to attend the presentation function which was held this month.
The GOTYA programme started in 2004 with 3 award categories. In 2006 the number of categories was increased to 5 with the addition of textiles and graphics. the past three years have seen even more special awards being added - ‘Overall Winner Award', ‘Best Colour Award' and the 'DIAS (Student Council of the NSW Branch) Award'
