ASG's Junior Art Award
The Society is calling all young ASG students to put their creative talent into use.
ASG is proudly sponsoring the Junior Art Award for its third year and we would like to invite Members' children to participate. ASG's Junior Art Award is open to students attending primary school in Australia and are currently in grades Prep to Grade 4.
ASG's Junior Art Award is part of the Young Australian Art Awards, and there are also other art categories that are open to the Junior (Prep to Grade 4), Middle (Grade 5 to Year 8) and Senior (Year 9 to Year 12) age groups. Students can submit artworks in painting, photography, drawing and computer art categories, online.
All pieces are to be original, and the selection panel will review all entries for the Young Australian Art Awards. Entries will be assessed according to the child's age.
The recipient of ASG's Junior Art Award will be contacted and invited to attend an awards ceremony where they will be presented with a trophy. Please note that entrants will only be contacted if they are to be invited to attend the Young Australian Art Awards.
