Atwell Youth Awards 2021
10am Sunday June 13 until 3pm Wednesday June 23
Mon-Thurs 10am-4.30pm Fri to Sun 10am- 4pm (awards presentation 6.30pm Thursday June 17 at Atwell Gallery-invitation only)
The Atwell Youth Awards is for young artists of high-school age, ie year 7 to year 12 and is an opportunity for them to exhibit work in the Atwell Gallery in Alfred Cove. We accept entries from individuals or from schools. We've been running an amazing annual open art exhibition for young artists of high-school age (12 - 18) since 2003 .... it's one of the highlights of our Atwell year.
This year marked the opening of the 18th Atwell Youth Awards and they were without exception an inspiration beyond your imagination. Post COVID last year, when the event was cancelled, twelve high schools in and around Perth showcased their artistic talent in a diverse and engaging exhibition. The Youth Awards have become quite the event for the schools with winners in categories including Year Awards and Special categories, like Sustainability, the Night Sky theme and Wearable Art to name a few.
This years Best in Show Winner was Moya Lyne, with a pencil drawing called the Blue Light, from Santa Maria College. See below for winner's pictures.
