Previous Winners:
1st place winner, 11DTEC student, Georgia Ritchie
The Character Design challenge required her to draw what her character looks like and to write a short story about the character. Georgia entered the senior competition for Year 11-13 and so was up against older students from bigger schools from all over the country.
Georgia was amazed to hear she has won the seniors’ 1st prize, which was to the value of $800. She has chosen an Apple iPad, Apple pen and Procreate software. We are really proud of her!
If any of you out there are inspired to give it a go, Georgia, who is a keen skier, may be open to offers if you want to get your hands on these essential tools for a successful career in illustration. If you are drawn to succeed, then choose Digital Technology for your 2023 subject selections.
