Each year young artists across Western Australia are invited to create new work in response to a theme developed by the Hyper team at the City of Swan.
This year’s theme is Reflect, encouraging artists to explore ideas of memory, identity and perspective through creative expression.
Open to young people aged 12 to 25, Reflect welcomes entries across a wide range of mediums, including painting, sculpture, photography, fashion, film, jewellery and experimental works. The result is a vibrant and diverse showcase of emerging talent, exhibited at MJAC from Saturday, July 25 to Sunday, August 24 2025.
Entries are now open and close Friday 13 June.
