A fantastic opportunity for young artists in Years 7–12 to showcase their talent and win amazing prizes!
STAEDTLER’s Artist of the Year Secondary School art competition is back for its 8th year, and it's bigger than ever! Open to all students in Years 7 to 12, the competition offers a platform for young creatives to share their artwork for the chance to win from a pool of 15 major prizes.
There are two categories to enter:
- Junior (Years 7–9)
- Senior (Years 10–12)
Each category will award prizes to the top 3 entries; with the first-place winner in both Junior and Senior taking home a $1,000 VISA gift card!
That’s not all: the top 3 schools with the most entries will also receive a STAEDTLER prize pack for their school. Students can submit as many artworks as they like, provided they were created within the last 12 months.
Plus, early birds have a chance to win one of four weekly prizes just for entering early!
