With almost 500 entries, the pre-selection panel had a very tough time examining each and every entry to reduce the numbers down to just 40 finalists.
These are the forty finalists with thirteen artworks selected from each age category across the three theme categories of Australian native Flora & Fungi, Australian native Fauna and Threatened Species. With most entries coming from the 13 years and Under age category an additional entry was selected to make the total of 40 finalists.
