A massive thank you to everyone who entered my art competition last year! I've finally gotten around to announcing the winners of the categories as chosen by me, as well as the audience choice award winners that will each be receiving an AUD $150 prize!
You can watch the winners announcement here if you'd prefer video format, otherwise keep scrolling to see the winners and the full gallery.
I had almost 100 entries in total, from all over the world! Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada, UK, Germany, France, you name it! And I am absolutely blown away by the talent and unique style you all have! I always find it amazing that you can tell who has drawn or painted a piece within a few seconds of looking at it.
Without further ado, let's get into it!
