The winners of the Cootamundra-based Happy Little Vegemites art competition, honouring 100 years of Vegemite, have been announced.
The competition, organised by Member of Cootamundra Steph Cooke, asked students to create an art piece that demonstrated what made them a ”Happy Little Vegemite”.
Ms Cooke said there had been an overwhelming response to the competition celebrating Vegemite’s 100th anniversary, with entries submitted from schools across the electorate.
“We had hundreds of wonderful artworks created by local students of all ages, from kindergarten right through to year 6,” Ms Cooke said.
“I was just so impressed by the talent on display; the competition well and truly exceeded expectations, so much so that it was too difficult to narrow the entries down to only two winners. Instead, a winner has been chosen from each year group.
“Congratulations to the winners and to all those who entered. I’m truly impressed, and I commend all participants for their exceptional artistic talents.”
After careful consideration of the many impressive entries, Ms Cooke announced the following winners, with their creativity now on display in the Young electorate office for the community to enjoy:
