Young Artist 2026 National Final

Wow ! The standard of entries was astronomical and made judging incredibly challenging !


The competition aims to encourage young people to be creative, develop skills in using traditional, contemporary or digital media, demonstrate interpretation of the topic, and express personal ideas through a selected medium.
