Submissions are now open for the 2025 Arts Mansfield Youth Arts Encouragement Award are now open.
The $500 award is designed to support young artists who live in the Mansfield Shire or on Mt Buller and are in their final year of Secondary Education, or are between 17 and 19 years of age as at 31 December this year.
Arts Mansfield President Emma McPherson said the award encourages youth interested in planning to pursue tertiary education in the Visual or Performing Arts to enter, but that future study is not mandatory.
“We’ve launched earlier launch this year so students can concentrate on their VCE and other studies and still have enough time to prepare their entry portfolio.
“This award is all about encouraging creativity and the prize can be used by an emerging artist to continue their arts practice.
All the details including the entry form are on the Arts Mansfield website, and this year entries can be submitted online, or by downloading the entry form and sending it to Arts Mansfield by email before Friday, 4 October.
“We encourage all eligible students to take advantage of this exciting opportunity, and look forward to learning about their work.”
