Entries for the 2022 TDF Kids Art Awards are now open!
Following the success of our inaugural kids art awards program in 2021, we’re thrilled to once again be teaming up with our presenting partner, Honan, to host this event celebrating kids’ unique creativity. Honan are a proudly Australian company who have been providing a full range of insurance, risk and financial solutions to individuals and businesses since 1964.
The theme of the 2022 awards program is ‘home’. Interpret this in any way you wish: paint a ‘family portrait.’ How about your garden or veggie patch? Anything IN your home works too! Can you draw your lego collection, your pet lizard, or your baby brother? Or how about a painting of your favourite home-cooked dinner? Your artwork can be anything that reminds you of home.
Our amazing judges Reko Rennie, Beci Orpin, and Ken Done will once again choose five winners to take home $1,000 each, plus their winning artwork on a customised pencil case thanks to Crumb Kids – and all the accolades!
15 runners up (three in each age group) will receive their winning design on a customised pencil case thanks to Crumb Kids.
100% of entry fees go directly to Children’s Ground — a charity working with First Nations communities over a 25-year period to make real and lasting change. Children’s Ground’s vision is for all First Nations people in Australia to achieve a life of opportunity, strong cultural identity, and personal wellbeing by having voice and agency over their social, cultural, political and economic future.
Honan is the presenting partner of this event, and our supporting partners are Gro-To, Birkenstock, and the Mercedes-Benz V-Class! Thank you so much to all our sponsors for making these awards happen!
