Thirty budding Year 12 artists from schools all over Queensland have been crowned winners of the 2022 Creative Generation Excellence Awards in Visual Art.
Education Minister Grace Grace congratulated the winners on their outstanding achievement.
“The Excellence Awards recognise the incredible talent and dedication shown by Queensland art students,” Ms Grace said.
“This wonderful competition has shone a spotlight on the high standard of visual art education in Queensland secondary schools since 1990, and the standard of entries this year has been fantastic.
“Congratulations to all students who entered, I hope you are encouraged to continue creating and exploring visual art in life after school.
“Thanks also to the teachers and school staff who guide and inspire Queensland’s young artists.
“Students from Queensland schools that offer senior visual art are invited to submit works for the Awards, and this year 30 winners were selected from an impressive pool of 503 entries from 173 schools.
“216 of those entries were from state schools, and 287 were from non-state schools.
“I’m pleased to announce that 56 students received commendations for their work, while another seven received Regional Encouragement Awards.”
The winners of the 2022 Creative Generation Excellence Awards in Visual Art will have their exhibited at the Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA) at South Bank in Brisbane from 22 April 2023.
