The Tuggeranong Rotary Club Youth Art Award

Over $4000 is up for grabs if you are a young artist between the ages of 15 and 25. Since 1994, Tuggeranong Rotary Club and the Tuggeranong Arts Centre have been working together to bring young people’s art to our community. This is a great opportunity for you to get the right kind of exposure for your work, sell your work plus maybe win one of the many prizes.

In 2009, we are very pleased and proud to have as our judge, renowned Australian artist and previous Archibald winner, Cherry Hood.

The RYA competition is unlike many others – it does not restrict your creativity – so no size limits, all mediums accepted and an entry fee you can afford - $10 per entry or $15 for two entries!

In 09 the comp is opening up and going regional so expect some competition from outside the ACT.

The competition will be held in May 2009 with entries closing at 5pm Friday 1st May, so get in early and register with suziee@tca.asn.au  In the New Year we will forward entry forms to you. For questions about the competition please call Suzie Edwards on 02 6293 1443.
