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.
