Little Darlings Youth Portrait Prize 2022 Finalist
8-11 years
My brother and I are almost complete opposites. I was born in summer, he was born in winter, I was born at night, he was born in the day, and we have birthmarks on opposite sides of our bodies. Even though we are completely different, we love each other so much.
Little Darlings is for primary and secondary students, with four separate categories across Kindergarten to Year 12. Responding to the theme ‘identity’, students painted, drew, photographed, printed or combined all of these to make their portrait.
