Winter School Holiday Competition - Creature Creations

Real animals, fantasy beasts, and everything in between.

Creature Creations invites young artists to imagine, invent and create their own creature artwork. Design a fantasy beast, recreate your favourite animal, or pet, or dream up something completely new. Entries can be made in any medium including drawing, painting, collage, sculpture, photography, digital art, print-making and more. Whether your creature is cute, creepy, strange, or magical, we want to see your imagination come to life! Final submissions will be a photograph or scan of your original creature emailed to Youth Services.

A few ideas that might spark some creativity:

•            Funny Creature

•            Creepy Creature

•            Hybrid Animal

•            Native Creature Remix

•            Tiny Beast

•            Future Pet

•            Colourful Creature

A creative prompt question:

“What would your creature eat? Where would it live? What powers would it have?”

1st = $50

2nd = $40

3rd = $30

People's Choice Award = $50

Send a photo of your finished creation to youth.services@midwestern.nsw.gov.au
