Threatened Species Children’s Art Competition 2019
Entries Open: June 3 and August 2, 2019.
Children from 5-12 years old in NSW and the ACT
The 2019 Threatened Species Children’s Art competition will be open for entries between June 3 and August 2, 2019. Children from 5-12 years old in NSW and the ACT are invited to unleash their creativity while learning about our threatened species. There are now more than 1000 in NSW alone, so raising awareness of their plight has never been more urgent.
Each child chooses one Australian threatened species of animals or plants, and researches, then draws or paints it, and writes a short explanation of their work. Photographs of artworks and written explanations can be submitted on-line. Finalists will be chosen for exhibitions in Sydney and Canberra in September, with winners announced at Parliament House Sydney on September 6, and at the Botanic Garden Canberra on September 7.
There will be some great prizes for winners and runners-up in different age categories: 5-7 year olds, 8-10 year olds, 11-12 year olds; and special prizes including Best Local Species Entry, Most Unusual Entry, Best Plant Entry, Best Group Work Entry and Best Written Explanation. Some of the entries will be posted on our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/groups/289862308022985/
Last year more than 2700 children entered the competition and there were over 2300 entries received. Well over 100 schools and art programs got involved as well as hundreds of individual children and their families.
This year we are excited to announce that the 2019 competition is being run by Humane Society International in conjunction with Forestmedia Network Inc.

The Lester Youth Art Prize

The Black Swan Prize for Portraiture, one of the country’s richest prizes for portraiture, has been renamed The Lester Prize in honour of the award’s leading patron, Richard Lester.The move has come after extensive consultation with artists, arts administrators, sponsors and partners to develop a name that is more ‘ownable’ and recognizable than ‘Black Swan’—a moniker that is shared by many businesses, products and organisations in WA.
The new name recognizes the leadership and support of Richard (Dick) Lester in helping the prize grow into one of the most prestigious on Australia’s visual arts calendar.
Entries are now open for the Youth Prize (20 April—26 July 2019).
