Future Visions is an annual competition run by the visual arts, School of Creative Arts. In 2023, there are two art awards on offer for Darling Downs / south east Queensland High School art students in Years 10, 11 and 12.
In this year's Future Vision competition, students can nominate for the Visual Art Open Award, the Environmental Science Art Award, or both. The Visual Art Open Award has no restrictions on size, medium, or subject matter. The Environmental Science Art Award requires students to create artwork addressing themes of climate, environment/sustainability, wildlife, and/or ecology. Students are also required to write a few words describing how their art piece relates to one or more of these environmental themes. Descriptions are limited to less than 100 words.
Future Visions showcases the diverse, dynamic, and emerging professional approaches to art making currently being created by Years 10, 11 and 12 students in the region. This will be the thirteenth year of the exhibition which continues to attract a high calibre of emerging artists creating exciting and innovative art. The Award is open to any Visual Art student currently studying Years 10, 11 or 12. Submissions are open to any form of visual art medium. Finalists will be chosen by a panel in the School of Creative Arts and School of Agriculture & Environmental Sciences, with the awards being announced at the opening of the exhibition on Friday 11 August 5:00pm, at the UniSQ Creative Arts A Block Foyer Gallery at the Toowoomba Campus.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Students can submit any work they would like to enter. This means work done either at school, at extracurricular art classes or at home can be submitted for the award.
