Youth Week Street Flags

In 2025, Inverell CBD will see artworks created by youth feature on street flags throughout Inverell's Otho Street and Byron Street. Youth aged 12-24 are invited to submit their original artworks, with selected artworks to be displayed throughout the CBD.

This free initiative is led by Regional Community Builders Incorporated and supported by the NSW Government. Click here to download the Artwork Entry Template.

Artwork selected for installation on the street flags will be determined by a panel of volunteer judges and all entries will receive a certificate of participation. Artists who have an artwork displayed in the CBD will be acknowledged at a public event to launch Youth Week in April 2025.

Categories: 12 - 14 years; 15 - 17 years; 18 - 20 years; and 21 - 24 years.
