Shoalhaven City Council would like to announce the 2021 Threatened Species school art competition.
To mark Threatened Species Week, Council is asking local schools to submit student’s artwork marking this year’s theme, Revival. Revival is inspired by the recovery of the bushland after the recent 2019 – 2020 bushfires.
Students have been asked to create artwork of native species of plants and animals that are currently threatened with extinction.
Shoalhaven City Council Mayor Amanda Findley is excited to see the annual competition once again getting underway.
“We are asking local students to create an artwork to raise awareness surrounding the 147 native species of plants and animals in the Shoalhaven that are currently threatened with extinction.” Clr Findley said.
“All of the artworks submitted will be displayed in the Nowra Administration Foyer during Threatened Species Week, with the winners being announced on Tuesday 7 September.” Clr Findley said.
Threatened Species Week aims to encourage greater community support and hands-on involvement in the prevention of further losses of Australia's unique natural heritage. It also encourages students to research threatened species that reside in the Shoalhaven to increase awareness.
Students can submit their artwork through their local school by Tuesday 31 August 2021. Winners will be announced by Council on
