The Waverley Youth Art Prize returns for 2023

The Prize is open to everyone aged between 9-18 living, studying and playing in Sydney’s East. This year’s theme, Climate Utopia, was decided by a young people’s focus group and is intended to get young artists thinking about hope, possible futures and the environment.

Winners of the Youth Art Prize will receive a range of art materials to help with future art making while the winner of the senior section will receive a voucher for a week at the National Art School’s Summer School.

You can apply here. Submissions close on 25 May.
