visual Arts Competition
Collie on canvas (or clay, or fabric, or film…)
The Collie Creates Visual Arts Competition is your chance to show what Collie means to you, through your own creative lens.
Our theme for 2026 is “Whatever the Weather.” From misty mornings and summer heat to stormy skies and crisp winter days, we invite you to explore the many moods and moments that weather brings to our lives and landscapes. However you interpret the theme is up to you — literal or symbolic.
We want to see how you capture the atmosphere, energy and emotion of “Whatever the Weather,” whether through painting, sculpture, photography, textiles, or whatever medium you work in.
APPLICATIONS AND FURTHER INFORMATION COMING SOON.
Who can enter?
Open to all residents of Collie and surrounding areas — no matter your age or experience level.
You don’t need to be a professional artist. If you’ve got an idea, a story to share, or simply enjoy creating with your hands, we’d love to see what you come up with.
This year’s theme is “Whatever the Weather” — a celebration of the ever-changing skies, seasons, moods, and moments that shape our region and inspire our creativity. The theme is open to interpretation, so feel free to get creative.
