Mayor Allan Sutherland said as judge of the 2009 awards Jillian Beardsworth had the credentials and experience necessary to find the winning entries from an extremely strong line-up of 300 young artistic masterpieces.

Year-10 St Paul’s School student Liisa Kuru, from Camp Mountain, won her category (Grade 4 to 7 three dimensional category) with her three-dimensional piece “Courtest”. This is the second year Liisa has taken out this prize.

“Congratulations not only to the winners but all the young artists who participated in the awards, it demonstrates the creative arts have a bright future in the Moreton Bay region” the Mayor said.

The Youth Art Awards exhibition is open week days, from 3pm to 6pm and on weekends, from 10 am to 4pm. The Strathpine Community Centre is located at 199 Gympie Road, with entry and parking off Mecklem Street, Strathpine.
