Little Impressions Exhibition

Postcards help families and friends stay connected when they can’t see each other. The 2021 theme encourages children to take a virtual holiday and send a postcard to the festival. COVID has put a pin in physical travel around the globe to connect with people, culture, and architecture. We’re encouraging students pick a virtual holiday destination from anywhere in the world, learn about the local sights, history and people, and design a postcard to be displayed at the AWESOME Festival.

Entry is FREE! To register for Little Impressions, CLICK HERE!

Participants will be invited to submit artworks to be exhibited at the AWESOME Festival (20 Sept – 2 Oct) and/or a digital exhibition. Participants in the exhibition receive a curriculum linked educators’ resource kit and a discount on booking excursions at the festival.
