2020 People + Judge CHOICES

ACT-BELONG-COMMIT YOUNG ARTIST AWARDS

Celebrating youth getting creative for health + happiness

It is so wonderful to see such amazing artistic talent in regional Western Australia and we are so proud to support and celebrate youth in arts. This year 92 entries were entered into the Act-Belong-Commit Young Artist Awards.

With over 350 votes two People's Choice Awards have been awarded, one for 6 Years & Under and one for 7 to 12 Years. Both winners receive $250 towards arts supplies to keep creatively active for health + happiness and to further explore their creative journey. Our judges could not decide on one winner for the Judges' Choice and declared a tie. Instead of splitting the $500 prize in half it was decided to award $300 to each of the two winner.

Please join with us now in celebrating not only this year's winners, which are featured below, but all young artists as it is their creativity and innovation that will continue to shape our world.
