SWAP Success

MSCW is delighted to congratulate Annabelle W, who was announced as the Winner of the Youth Category at the SWAP Art Prize 2026 Opening Night.

Annabelle received the award for her artwork, Spread the News, earning the category’s top honour and $750 in prize money. This outstanding achievement is a testament to her creativity, technical skill and commitment to her artistic practice.

The evening was also a proud celebration of artistic excellence across the College, with five MSCW students selected among the twelve finalists in the Youth Category. We congratulate all participating students whose artworks were chosen for exhibition and who represented MSCW with distinction. Their selection reflects the depth of artistic talent within our school community and the high standard of work being produced by our Visual Arts students.

The SWAP Art Prize Exhibition is now open to the public, and we encourage members of the MSCW community to visit and support our talented student artists.
