Hope for the Ninu by Jannico Kelk (Australia)
The winner of the impact award shows a ninu, with the wire grass and shrubs behind it providing a frame against the darkness.
The greater bilby has many Aboriginal names, including ninu. It was brought to near extinction through predation by introduced foxes and cats.

The oldest part of the Orloj, the mechanical clock and astronomical dial, dates back to 1410, when it was created by clockmaker Mikuláš of Kadaň and Charles University professor of mathematics and astronomy Jan Šindel. Later, presumably around 1490, the calendar dial was added and the clock facade was decorated with gothic sculptures.
