The Surf Coast Community Arts Calendar will feature many different artistic forms during the months of 2025 following the announcement of the competition’s winners.

Twelve winners were announced at the annual calendar competition exhibition launch at the Anglesea Art Space on Friday, October 11, and will receive $300 alongside calendar acknowledgment.

Surf Coast Shire Council chief executive Robyn Seymour said judges were impressed by the many entries and thanked everyone who took part in the competition.

“Judges were faced with some tough choices given the quality and diversity of the works. People can see for themselves by visiting the exhibition at Anglesea Art Space,” she said.

“We hope all entrants enjoy being part of the exhibition, it is a great opportunity to gain some exposure and recognition, and we look forward to seeing who takes out the People’s Choice award.”

The 12 winners were Alexia Bennett, Andrew Middlehurst, Barbara Jens, Caroline Borghetto, Emma Wilson, Jen Benyan and Rosie Crone in the open 2D category.

The winners also included Bronwyn Tasker and Caroline Hawkins in the open 3D category, Chloe Muscroft and Scarlett Delmo in the youth category and Albee Pickering in the child category.

The winning artworks will be displayed from 10am to 4pm on Thursday to Sunday every week until October 26 at the Anglesea Art Space, with voting still open for the People’s Choice award, which will be featured on the calendar’s cover.
