Each education region hosts a Creative Generation Excellence Awards in Visual Art regional exhibition to showcase and celebrate submitted artworks within that region.
Award presentations form part of the regional exhibitions, where certificates of excellence, commendation and regional encouragement are presented to students.
Regional exhibitions are held from September to November each year.
Regional coordinators provide regular updates to their region's contact list and/or via this page. Any questions should be directed to the program manager or regional coordinators.
