Entries for the 2025 Youth Art Prize open on Friday 4 July - a vibrant competition that celebrates and empowers young artists across the region.
East Gippsland Shire Council invites creatives aged 12 to 25 to share their vision, talent, and unique voice through art. Whether it's a sketch, a sculpture, a photograph, or a digital design, all mediums are welcome in this inclusive celebration of creativity.
More than just a competition, the Youth Art Prize is a celebration of connection, community, and expression. It's a platform for young people to explore their creativity, learn from others, and showcase their art in a professional setting.
The competition celebrates the incredible depth of talent and storytelling among our youth and highlights the powerful role young people play in shaping the future of the region's arts and culture. It also offers them a real-world opportunity to exhibit professionally.
Whether you're picking up a paintbrush for the first time or refining your next portfolio piece, the Youth Art Prize is your chance to be seen, heard, and become part of something inspiring.
