How to enter
Submissions for the Creative Generation Excellence Awards in Visual Art 2019 are now open.
Submission process
Schools must download and read the 2019 Information for schools booklet carefully prior to submitting into the awards. The booklet contains information on all elements of the program and what is expected of schools and students.
Before finalising the submission, the submitting teacher will be asked to tick a box acknowledging their understanding and acceptance of the program's terms and conditions.
Project consent form
All students participating in the 2019 awards program are required to complete a Creative Generation Excellence Awards in Visual Art 2019 project consent form.
Schools will be required to upload completed forms via the submission portal. Submissions cannot be completed without this form. Please note, the QSuper consent form located within the portal is optional.
Submit
Once the submitting teacher, student and their parent/guardian have read the Information for schools booklet and have received the student's completed project consent form, visit the submission portal to submit into the awards.
