What Approved Artists Gain

We accept design submissions from students across NSW in years 10, 11, and 12. Exceptions can be made upon request and with guardian consent. Cut off date for submissions is the 30th June. The Blue Hand Group announces the winners on the 30th July.

Design Inspiration
Designs in no way need to relate to The Blue Hand Group, ie the name, colour palate we use, or logo. Instead, we want to see the true original styles of each student. Artists need to consider that their designs will be placed on a wide variety of items such as shirts, stickers, and tote bags. Artists are welcome to create designs inspired by social or environmental causes. Just nothing illegal, objectifying or prejudiced is to be featured. If the designs are liked by the board but something needs to change e.g. a feature removed, we will reply giving them the offer to make adjustments should they choose.
