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."
