The Dorrigo Visual Arts Group (DVAG) has for many years held the Fine Arts Exhibition and Competition at the annual Dorrigo Show.
This year for the first time, thanks to a grant of $150 from Bellingen Shire Council, the DVAG is able to introduce two youth prizes aimed at encouraging and giving exposure to our young, emerging artists.
There is a limit of two entries per person with a maximum size of 27cm by 41cm (A3 size).
Work must be framed or mounted on firm cardboard or backing.
All entries must be the work of the exhibitor, completed in the last two years and not previously entered in any other exhibition in Dorrigo.
All works to be marked on the back with the name of the artist, title, medium, price or “not for sale” sign.
A commission of 20 per cent will be deducted by the DVAG on all sales.
Entry fee for the Youth competition is $5 for two works.
First prize is $100 and the second prize is $50.
So, If you are between 13 and 17 years of age, please take advantage of this opportunity and start working now for the November Show.
