Australia Art in Nature: Calling For Art Submissions For Under 18s

The Grammy-nominated and MBE-awarded Sisters Grimm are calling on creative kids from 5 to 18 to get behind a global movement and submit artworks based on their environment for an exciting new project - Australia Art In Nature.

Young people across the country have the chance to be featured in a bespoke online art gallery and a brand-new animated music video. It's FREE to enter and submissions close on 28 February 2022 so get out and explore!

The initiative aims to showcase the stunning Australian landscape, weaving in personal perspectives on the environment through the eyes of the next generation. Children are encouraged to engage with their natural surroundings and be inspired to create a drawing, painting, 3D model or collage.

Entrants just need to take a photo of their artwork and upload it to the Australia Art In Nature website to be included in the online gallery. Selected works will contribute to the visual backdrop on the Sisters Grimm's latest music video launched on World Water Day on 22nd March 2022.

The project is designed to spark creativity, encourage the mental health benefits from nature and raise awareness of the environment and education on climate change.
