Applications Open - 2011 Lloyd Rees Memorial Youth Art Awards

It's time to think about your work to submit for the Lloyd Rees Memorial Youth Art Awards. You've got just over 3 months as applications are due 19th August.The theme is open to what ever subject you would like to paint, draw or print. We are encouraging all artists to submit up to two artworks this year and it is open to those artitsts aged 18 - 28 years and live in Australia.

You can also sell your work at the exhibition (if you do not win the Aquisitive Prize that is) or if you prefer not to you can always put not for sale. We suggest that those not wanting to sell their work write not for sale, rather than putting an inflated price on the work.

It's really important to think about hanging and leaving enough time to either get your work framed or place strong d-rings on your canvases so we do not have to hang it from the frame as this can damage your work an important if you want to sell.

With over 60 entrants last year, there is a great opportunity to not only have your work shown and exhibited to an enthusiastic audience, but there are the prizes too. With over $7000 provided by the Lane Cove Council, The Lane Cove Art Society and Centrehouse Community Art Centre, this could really help you continue your art practice and development.
