2023 TBF Art Competition

The art competition at the festival was different to last year's as it was open to all. Artists young and not so young drew their favourite boats or their favourite aspects of a boat during the festival. The youngest entrant was Kari Webb's 2 year old granddaughter who was visiting from overseas! There was also an art area for children to make pirate hats, do colouring in and create with a wide variety of materials. It was wonderful to see parents and children sitting down and creating together. We had over 50 entries, 15 prizes, and some of them were bigger than recipients!

The prizes for the competition were generously supplied by:

• The Art Shop, Mona Vale
• Bookoccino, Avalon
• Meredith Rasdall, Visual Art Classes Avalon
• Jackie Brown, Mona Vale School of Visual Arts
• Officeworks Mona Vale
• RMYC

A huge thank you to these businesses for putting such big smiles on budding artists’ faces. Thank you also to Meredith Rasdall for judging the artworks and encouraging so many boat owners to put pencil to paper and to draw their boats.
