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.
This year’s theme is “Colliecentric”. It’s all about our people, places, stories and spirit. However you interpret that is up to you. We want to see how you capture the heart of this town, whether that’s through painting, sculpture, photography, textiles or whatever medium you work in.
Entries close Friday 22 August
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 "Collie Centric" — a celebration of the people, places, stories, and spirit that make our region unique. The theme is open to interpretation, so feel free to get creative.
