Thapong Visual Arts Centre last Tuesday held its annual awards to honour deserving artists.

This year's Thapong Artist of the Year award - which carries P20,000, went to photographer, Donald Moilwa.  This was not the first time that Moilwa entered the awards as he had several times before submitted entries, but with little success.  However, he never gave up and made it this time around with his picture of baked bunnies entitled Infusion.
