Celebrate our Wild At Art finalists and winners at our 2026 online awards ceremony!
Wild At Art is Australia's biggest wildlife art competition for kids. It's an opportunity for children unleash their artistic creativity while learning about Australia's threatened animals and plants – and the threats facing them. This year, we were blown away by over 5000 incredible artwork entries from children aged 5-12 across Australia. Our panel of judges had the very difficult job of narrowing down this list to just over 100 finalists.
Join us for the Wild at Art 2026 online awards ceremony where we’ll be announcing the winners for each of the following categories:
- Best artwork, ages 5-7 (1st and 2nd place)
- Best artwork, ages 8-10 (1st and 2nd place)
