Wynne Prize
The Wynne Prize is an Australian landscape painting or figure sculpture art prize. As one of Australia's longest-running art prizes, it was established in 1897 from the bequest of Richard Wynne. Now held concurrently with the Sir John Sulman Prize and the Archibald Prize at the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney.
It is awarded annually for "the best landscape painting of Australian scenery in oils or watercolours or for the best example of figure sculpture by Australian artists completed during the 12 months preceding the [closing] date".
Many of Australia's most famous artists have won the prize, including William Dobell, Hans Heysen, Lloyd Rees, Fred Williams, William Robinson, Eric Smith and Sali Herman.
In 2010, the prize awarded was A$25,000, but the painting by Sam Leach which was awarded the prize, was later revealed to be a close copy of the 17th-century painting Boatmen Moored on the Shore of an Italian Lake by Adam Pijnacker. Concern was expressed that the prize had been awarded to a painting which did not fulfil the prize's criteria. Nevertheless, the trustees of the Art Gallery of New South Wales decided that the award would stand.

Wanna Be Yours
by: Lil EddieStill smiling from yesterday
I just woke up and the first thought on my brain
Is you and now I can't wait to see your lovely face
I would do whatever it takes to look into your eyes again
If only you knew
Days keep on turning into nights, wish I
Could go on and say it
Cause it's burning deep inside to know
I wanna be yours baby
See nothing could get better than if we were together
I just can't take this
I wanna be, wanna be yours
So close but so far away
I won't be satisfied till I have my cake
And eat it too with love
With you I'll share the taste
Not a single crumb I'll waste
It's getting harder to contain these feelings of you
I'm thinking, you sweep me off the ground into a whirl wind
When you come around me something in me changes
I can't explain it baby, you'll be famous
If only you knew
Days keep on turning into nights, wish I
Could go on and say it
Cause it's burning deep inside to know
I wanna be yours baby
See nothing could get better than if we were together
I just can't take this
I wanna be, wanna be yours
I'm falling so in love
Friendship is not enough
It's hard to bare
Cause when you care the way that I do
You gotta be the one who claims your name around
Talks about you all over town
If I could just be your girl
If only you knew
If only you knew (yeah)
If only you knew
Days keep on turning into nights, wish I
Could go on and say it
Cause it's burning deep inside to know
I wanna be yours baby
See nothing could get better than if we were together
I just can't take this
