Victoria University is in Australia in the state of Victoria. The Show as you have mentioned can be entered by anyone worldwide

There is also a Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand (http://www.victoria.ac.nz/home/default.aspx), which is where the artist is from. You are right that there is a Victoria University in Australia, but I don't believe that is the one Whiteside attended.
