Three first-year artists, every year, in Benni's name.
The Benni Esposito Award is given each year to three first-year students at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design in Dundee, chosen for their drawing, their commitment, and the spark the staff call the "Benni factor".

Website to followWho was Benni?
Benni Esposito was a painter, a stand-up comedian and the bass player in the punk band Broccoli. He took a First in Drawing and Painting at Duncan of Jordanstone, came back for his Master's, and went on to co-lead the college's drawing programme.
Benni passed away suddenly in January 2005, when he was just 33. His family, friends and colleagues set up this award so that, every year, a few new students would meet a little of him.
