Entries open for youth art competition

Entries are now open for the 2023 Q Art Project.

Run by Wyndham Youth Services, the Q Art Project is an art competition for rainbow identifying youth aged between 12 and 25 to showcase LGBTQIA+ self-expression and empowerment.

Wyndham councillor Marcel Mahfoud the competition was a great opportunity for all types of creatives.

“Whether traditional artists, illustrators, writers or inspiring fashion designers,

music writers, photographers and make-up artists, entries can take many forms and

can be as creative as you like,” Cr Mahfoud said.

“All creatives are encouraged to enter.”

Art work submitted can be visual: drawing, painting, photography – or written – short

story, poetry, comic or musical lyrics or a song.

Each selected entry will receive $100 in prize money and entries close 19 November

2023.

Selected entries will be displayed at an Exhibition launch and will travel to partnering

service providers.

Entries will be displayed on Wyndham City’s website and social media.
