Young Archies Awards

About the Young Archies

Awards are presented in year categories for the best portrait of a person created by a student during the 12 months before the closing date. Portraits can be in any 2D media, such as a drawing, painting, or collage, but cannot include photography. The portrait must be of someone personally known to the student. The Young Archies Awards are only open to students in Tasmanian Government schools and colleges.
