Calling local artists

The NSW Children’s Week 2022 Art Competition is open to all children and young people up to age 18 living in NSW.

Art work must depict how the artist is keeping safely connected with family, friends and community during this time. Your entry can include drawings, paintings, photographs, digital illustrations or videos. Entries are judged in three categories - under 5, ages 6 to 11, and ages 12 to 18. Three winners will be selected from each group, and will receive an award and prize. Entries close October 7, 2022.
