Young Archies 2023 Competition

In Semester 2, budding artists amongst the GNLC students, will have the opportunity to submit a portrait for our Young Archies 2023 Competition. 

One winner and 1 runner up from our internal competition will be selected from each category and their work submitted to The Art Gallery of NSW for consideration in their competition. 

On Wednesday 13 July an Information Session will be held for interested students in AT2 at 1pm. 

The Theme

Students are invited to submit a portrait to the front office by 12 October 2022. 

The portrait must be of a person who is special to you – someone who is known to you and who knows you and plays a significant role in your life.

There are 4 age categories:

• 5-8-year-olds
• 9-12-year-olds
• 13-15-year-olds
• 16-18-year-olds

To be considered for selection, an entrant must comply with all entry instructions and conditions.

Instructions and conditions

The artwork

• One artwork only per entrant
• Must be on paper (NOT board)
• Must be unmounted and unframed
• Must be no smaller than A4 (210 × 297 mm) and no bigger than A3 (420 × 297 mm)
• Can be vertical or horizontal
• Any art materials or combination of art materials may be used (e.g., paint, pencil, pastels, paper collage) but the artwork must be two-dimensional

Preparing the artwork for entry

• Clearly label the back of the artwork with which way it should be displayed, along with the name, age, address, and contact details. Make sure this doesn’t show through to the front.
• DO NOT roll or fold the artwork. We suggest placing it between 2 pieces of cardboard to protect it and keep it flat.
