Information & Timeline

Heroes Amongst Us-Theme Overview

Heroes walk among us every day, often unnoticed, quietly performing acts of kindness, bravery, and sacrifice. This competition invites artists to celebrate these unsung heroes through their creative expressions. Whether it’s the selfless teacher inspiring students, the tireless healthcare worker saving lives, the neighbour who always lends a helping hand, or the stranger who steps up in a moment of crisis – heroes come in many forms and their stories deserve to be told.
