Young Dobell 2025

Next date: Saturday, 31 May 2025 | 09:00 AM to Sunday, 03 August 2025 | 03:00 PM

In its second year and in celebration of the Lake Macquarie Dobell Festival, Lake Macquarie City Council is inviting budding artists aged 5 – 18 to participate in the Young Dobell competition.

Sir William Dobell was a three-time Archibald Prize winner who lived in Lake Macquarie and was known for his portraits and landscape artworks. His beloved pet dogs were also a favoured subject matter for Dobell.

The Young Dobell competition participants are encouraged to create either a portrait of a person or pet who plays a significant role in their life, or a landscape artwork of a place that is special to them. The competition is open to young people throughout the Hunter region, including Lake Macquarie, Newcastle, Port Stephens, Maitland and broader Hunter Valley areas.
