The Wagga Wagga 2050 Art Competition closes on 26 April and residents of all ages are encouraged to enter to be in the running for some locally inspired prizes worth a total of $2,000.
The Wagga Wagga 2050 Art Competition is being held in conjunction with community consultation for Wagga Wagga City Council's Community Strategic Plan (CSP) 2050 which sets out the long-term vision, aspirations and priorities for our local government area.
Executive Manager, Regional Activation – Projects Christine Priest said residents are invited to show us what they love most about our city and villages through art.
"There is only a short time left to enter the Wagga Wagga 2050 Art Competition which closes Friday 26 April 2024," Ms Priest said.
"It's simple to enter; download an entry form or pick one up from one of our pop-up stalls or from Customer Service at the Civic Centre," Ms Priest said.
"Draw or paint a picture of what you love about Wagga Wagga and surrounds and upload it to our website where others can view your artwork.
