About the Award

​The Vonwiller Award for Children & Young Artists (formerly known as The Eve Vonwiller Youth Art Awards) is a prestigious biannual award presented by Gallery Lane Cove + Creative Studios that is dedicated to celebrating the artistic talent of children and young artists aged 5-17.

Named in honour of Eve Vonwiller, a revered member of our community, teacher, and advocate for children’s art education, the award aims to recognise and nurture creativity among the youth, as well as provide opportunities for the development of their talents.

This year’s theme: Curious Creations

For the theme, “Curious Creations”, we want you to come up with an artwork (or two) that shows us how creative you are. What’s the most fascinating, unique or weird thing you can think of? Let your imagination run wild – the stranger it is, the better!
