The Creative Generation Excellence Awards in Visual Art recognise and promote excellence in senior visual art education throughout Queensland state and non-state schools.
Since 1990, the program has helped raise community awareness of the degree of sophistication in concepts, diversity of technical competence, and the high standard of visual art education in Queensland secondary schools.
Congratulations to the 2025 shortlisted students who received excellence, commendation, and regional encouragement awards. Head to the
award recipients page to see the 2025 recipients and their work.
