The National Youth Week Talent Competition winners have been announced.
Australia’s creative young artists have been recognised for their fantastic work in the 2010 National Youth Week National Talent competitions.
The Minister for Youth, Kate Ellis, announced this year’s winning young writers, musicians, graphic designers, photographers and film makers.
The winners were chosen from hundreds of entries received from across the five National Talent Competition categories- RockIT (music), DesignIT (graphic design), WriteIT (short stories), ShootIT (film), and SnapIT (photography).
It is evident that NSW is a hub for young talent in Australia, as more than half of the winning entrants in both the Junior and Senior divisions were from NSW submissions. Check out the full list of winners below.
