The Transurban Art Prize is back!We are excited to announce that the annual Transurban Art Prize, in partnership with Eckersley’s Art & Craft, has returned for 2024 and is open to all students in Years 7 – 10 in NSW.
Formerly known as the Canal to Creek Art Prize, this is an opportunity for students across all of NSW to create their own piece of art, inspired by the 2024 theme, ‘Connections’. Transurban is proud to strengthen and connect communities through transport and want you to consider YOUR connections to people and place.
There are fabulous prizes to be won for the first, second and third place in EACH Year group (Years 7 – 10), as well as one overall school winner. A share of more than $10,000 in prizes up for grabs!
This year the theme for the Transurban Art Prize is 'Connections'. We want you to consider connections to earth, culture, history, movement and environment.
Make sure to take fantastic pictures of your artwork for Transurban’s virtual art gallery, plus if you win, your work will be digitally reproduced and showcased at one of Transurban’s Motorway Control Centres or offices across NSW.
