The Creative Collective
Nillumbik Youth Art Competition 2021
Nillumbik Youth is excited to once again host The Creative Collective annual youth art competition.
The Creative Collective engages local groups, individuals, communities and schools to invite young people to demonstrate their unique points of view through creative expression.
The theme for 2021 is ‘Perspectives’ - encouraging young people to share what they are passionate about through mediums such as painting, photography, sculpture, literature, and more.
Through this variety of art forms, Council and community gain an opportunity to see things from the point of view of our young people, and a level of understanding between generations.
The competition is open to anyone aged 12–18 who lives, works, studies, volunteers or plays in Nillumbik Shire.
Entries close on Sunday 17 October 2021.
