Instructions for the artist:
1. Research
Do your own research on one threatened animal or plant in NSW. A list of threatened species can be found on http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/threatenedSpeciesApp/ A few plants and animals are listed in our Gallery and more information can be found in a list at the end of this section. You could look for a species that is threatened in your own area, or one that used to live in your area. You could look at one of the reasons that species is threatened, such as logging, land-clearing or feral animals.
2. Create
Create your own work of art that interprets this theme. Make sure it falls within the categories of drawing, painting or mixed media. Sadly, three dimensional, photography and video works can’t be accepted this year.
3. Reflect
The reflection is a short piece of writing that describes what inspired you and why and how you created your artwork. It should be 50-150 words long and can be included in the registration form. This will help the judges understand more about you and your work. Parents or teachers can help you fill in this section.
4. Send
Please ask for an adult's assistance to create a clear digital copy of your artwork under 5MB in size. The file should be sent to the organisers in digital format, along with a Registration Form that must be completed by a parent, teacher or legal guardian.
