DESIGN A POSTER FOR SCHOOLS CLEAN UP DAY

Time to get creative! Design a poster to encourage schools to get involved on Clean Up Australia Day in 2024 and have your artwork featured on our School Clean Up bags!

The Clean Up Australia Day Schools Poster Design Competition is open to school students in pre/primary & secondary schools in Australia who have registered to participate in Schools Clean Up Day in 2023.


Entry is across three age groups:

Preschool (3-5 years)

Primary (6-12 years)

Secondary (13-18 years)

 The winner of each category will receive a $1,000 Wahu gift voucher.

One grand prize winner selected from the three category winners will have their design featured on Clean Up Australia’s school posters and bags in 2024.

Submitted artwork must be an original creation. Making a copy of any pre-existing image is not acceptable, whether visually or by tracing. Colouring in an outline printed or drawn by someone else or having an adult contribute to the artwork is also not acceptable. Artwork must not be overly derivative of images found on the Internet, in print media, or elsewhere.


Entries can be made from any traditional media, including pastel, oil pastels, pen, pencil, charcoal, acrylics, watercolour, oils, mixed media, collage, or other materials. All entries must be a drawing, painting, mixed media or photograph. Videos and three dimensional sculptures will not be accepted.


Group artworks will be classified according to the oldest student in the group. Students may submit one individual entry and one joint entry with other students.


Entries can be submitted digitally below or posted. Competition closes March 31 2023 and entries most be received by 6pm AEDT.
