Kid's painting competition

We are accepting artworks now until Thursday, January 27. Please make sure your child's entry has a completed registration form when dropping off to Botanic Gardens Visitor Information (administration)

Is there a budding artist in your home? If so, here’s an opportunity for your children to have their artwork showcased and a win a prize!

This competition is open to children aged 10 -17 years old.

All you have to do is use your imagination to create a piece of hand painted canvas art that reflects the theme “nature”. The only limit is your imagination!

These art works will then be showcased in Lagoons Gallery in our February Exhibition with the chance to win a $50 gift card. This is a great opportunity to give your budding artist exposure to the community. As there is limited space in the Lagoons Gallery, we are only able to accept the first 20 entries submitted. We will advise when we have reached this number via our Facebook page and noticeboard.

As part of the exhibition, we will ask members of the public to vote for their favourite art work. The winner will be announced once early March once the exhibition is over. A registration form can be collected from Botanic Gardens Visitor Information building or via this link.
