Cherie Brodie entered Out From The Mist in 2022, her work, Depression to Despair, being exhibited at our Gold Coast Awards Night. Cherie sadly died from a burst aneurysm in her brain shortly after that exhibition. The Cherie Brodie Prize commemorates Cherie’s life and artistry.

In her life and her photography, Cherie consistently sought to overcome her complex post-traumatic stress disorder, drawing on her love for her children for strength and hope. This strength and hope is captured in words Cherie used in commenting on her photo Depression to Despair:

So, I get up again. 

And then I smile again.

And then I hold onto the good feelings when they come back again. 

And I try to just rest during the bad feelings and moments in time.

The Cherie Brodie Prize will be awarded to the photography, short film or music entrant who best expresses the optimism expressed in Cherie’s words. Cherie Brodie’s family will select the winner from a short list prepared by the Creative Director.

Prize $1,000 AUD
