🖌️ Theme: “Celebrating Milestones”

In honour of the Kate Edger Foundation’s 20th Anniversary

We’re excited to announce our 2025 student art competition, celebrating 20 years of the Kate Edger Foundation and its mission to support and empower women through education. Over the last 20 years, the Kate Edger Foundation (formerly Kate Edger Educational Charitable Trust) has granted over $11 million in educational awards, scholarships and grants, and in doing so, we have reshaped the lives of more than 1,600 wahine.

This year’s theme invites young artists to reflect on the meaningful moments and milestones that mark growth, change, and progress. Students are encouraged to explore what milestones mean to them: past, present, or future, and bring that story to life through art.

🎨 Mediums Accepted:
Drawing, painting, videos, collage, sculpture, digital art, poetry, prose, and mixed media
