About the awards
The awards are open for young people aged between 12 to 24, who study, work or live in the Inner West Council area.
The competition provides young people the opportunity to hone their creative skills in a competitive environment and to have their work seen and published.
There’s never been a better time to get creative!
The competition culminates with prizes being awarded in two formats: writing and art across three age groups: 12 to 15, 16 to 18 and 19 to 24 years.
The winning entries are displayed in a dedicated public exhibition, scheduled this year for the first time in Camperdown’s Chrissie Cotter Gallery.
With 176 awesome entries last year, the standard and diversity of work exceeded all expectations. Check out the amazing winners and shortlisted entries below.
A digital presentation allowed the judges to give valuable feedback and hear interesting insights from young people about their work. View the 2021 digital presentation here.
