This year, we have been overwhelmed with a record-breaking number of submissions, totalling 160 remarkable pieces now showcased for all to appreciate.
We are truly delighted to witness the continued participation of numerous artists year after year, as well as the widespread support for this competition, which has evolved into a cherished Easter tradition within the Gladstone Region.
