Claire won the Recycled/Reused Materials Award for her painting on a discarded skateboard, All Monsters Are Real.
The Remagine Art Prize 2023 winner was Canberra glass artist Jennifer Kemarre Martiniello, who took out the first prize of $5,000 for her sculpture, Not Wasted, made from recycled television screens.
