In our program's 15th year, the Arts Awards theme for 2012 is Strength: It takes strength to face a diagnosis of cancer. Whether directly affected or supporting a loved one, many will draw on their inner strength to help them through such a difficult time.

Entries are now open for the 2012 Arts Awards. For more details, or to enter, see the Arts Awards website.
