Calling all budding young artists! Get your pencils sharpened, brushes loose and cameras ready, because Little Darlings is back in town. This youth portrait prize has four categories for students aged 5 to 18 years.
The theme for the Little Darlings Youth Portrait Prize 2024 is ‘My story’ and students can paint, draw, photograph, print or combine all of these to make their portrait. Winners will be chosen from each category by a panel of judges, and the 12 winning artworks will be displayed in the Gallery in winter 2024.
The following questions are prompts to assist with entries, rather than definitive elements that must be addressed:
- What is your subject’s story about being Australian?
- How can you tell a person’s story through a portrait?
- Is your subject’s story rooted in family, community, culture or nation, or something else altogether?
Entries are now open and can be submitted online until 15 December 2023. For more information see the 2024 entry guidelines and FAQs.
We are also offering a Little Darlings Online Workshop for students to undertake a $30 one hour making session, delivered via Zoom, WebEx or Teams.
