The Siemens-RMIT Fine Art Scholarship Awards is one of the most exciting business-arts initiatives in Australia. Each year students from RMIT University School of Art will be in the running for $32,000 in prize money. Students from Melbourne and regional Victoria as well as WA and Hong Kong have entered a diverse range of work including ceramics, drawing, fine art, photography, gold and silver smithing, media arts, painting, printmaking and sculpture.

An exhibition of the short-listed artists' work will be held at RMIT Gallery, Swanston Street, Melbourne from 26 November to 8 January 2010.

RMIT's Alumnus of the Year for 2010, artist Sam Leach, said that winning the 2007 Siemens-RMIT Fine Art Scholarship Awards was a "massive gift" to his career as he was researching 17th century Dutch painting.

Siemens Australia have invested half a million dollars in the scholarships over the past decade.
