Calling all young artists!
The Crisps Youth Art Prize is an annual exhibition that showcases art from Granite Belt youth.
This year’s theme is “INSECTS”
Insects display remarkable beauty through incredible diversity, vibrant colours, and intricate, specialized adaptations. From the iridescent scales of butterfly wings and the brilliant colours of beetles to the precise camouflage of leaf insects. They are essential, functional, and "tiny treasures" that offer fascinating artistic patterns, from their movements to their physical structures.
Insects are crucial to life on Earth, acting as primary pollinators for flowers and crops (80% of wild plants), decomposing waste to maintain soil fertility, and serving as a fundamental food source for wildlife. They drive ecosystem health through pollination, seed dispersal, and nutrient cycling.
Medium: Almost any type of light-themed art is acceptable; this includes paintings, photographs & mixed media. For hanging purposes, we encourage works to be created on an A3 size.
