Congratulations to the winners of the 2024 Young Artist Award! Pictured here is the winning artwork for Highly Commended in section 2: 17 years and under, Still Mum by Lilah McMahon.⁠
⁠
This artwork was judged by Zoe Porter and below are her comments on the piece:⁠ "A confident and highly resolved drawing that captures the subject. The strong use of detail in combination with less detailed sections creates a contrasted composition. This work suggests competent and highly skilled approaches to drawing the figure."⁠

Congratulations to the winners of the 2024 Young Artist Award! Pictured here is the winning artwork of first prize in section 1: 18 to 30yrs, The Edge of Seventeen by Catherine Maticka.⁠
⁠
This artwork was judged by Zoe Porter and below are her comments on the piece:⁠ "Strong composition and technical use of colour and tone to create mood. Reflects young adult's use of technology and captures an intimate scene. The colour is somewhat eerie and exaggerated - the reflection of the phone screen fills the room and highlights a young adult fixation on phones."⁠
