This year we celebrate Mental Health Week between the 9 and 17 October and the much-loved annual art competition is back for another year.
The competition is open to all past and present consumers, families, carers and Monash Health employees, and we invite you to submit up to two pieces of art for this year’s competition.
The voting categories are:
- Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islander
- Adult (25-64)
- Aged (over 65)
- Carer
- Child (under 12)
- Culturally Diverse
- Drug and Alcohol Services
- Dual Disability
- LGBTQIA+
- Staff
- Youth (12-24)
The work that receives the most votes in each category will be bought by the Mental Health Program for $300 and will be displayed across Monash Health.
There will also be two encouragement awards, for art selected by the Mental Health Complaints Commissioner and the Mental Health Program that will be purchased for $300 each.
And, finally this year we will have an award for ‘Artist of the Year’ which will be presented to the piece of art with the most votes in total, which will receive an additional $100.
If the thought of the competition has your creative juices flowing, please contact the Consumer and Family/Carer Service on 9554 9233 or head to the Consumer and Family/Carer intranet page. Entries close Sunday 18 September 2022.
