FIRST NATIONS ART PRIZE

Calling all First Nations artists

United Workers Union has finalised a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). Our RAP sets a vision of solidarity and partnership with First Nations peoples. It commits us to empower the voice and activism of First nations members within our union, our workplaces and our communities.

First prize is $1,000, second prize $300 and third prize is $100.

You can submit a painting, drawing, object or digital design. A photograph of the entry can be submitted with the entry form. Finalists will be sent a mailing package to send the original artwork to UWU for judging to determine the winners.

The themes of the competition are Activism, Solidarity, Partnership.
