Honan Insurance Group is partnering for a second year with Design Files Kids Art Awards, which supports Children’s Ground, a not-for-profit creating opportunities for First Nations children.

The online art awards program will award five young artists $1000 each. Entry fees go to Children’s Ground.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with The Design Files again for this year’s Kids Art Awards,” Honan CEO Andrew Fluitsma said. "We didn’t hesitate to support this brilliant initiative that not only encourages kids to have fun and be creative but also helps raise much needed funds and awareness for Children’s Ground.”

The competition is open to all Australians up to age 16. Entries close April 24 and winners will be announced May 7.

Participants are asked to create an A4-sized artwork in any medium -- paint, pencil, crayon or collage – related to theme "feels like home” and upload an image of it.

“Show us your home or perhaps your garden. Paint a ‘family portrait’. Anything in your home works too -- can you draw your lego collection, your pet lizard, or your baby brother? Or how about a painting of your favourite home cooked dinner? Your artwork can be anything that reminds you of home,” it says.

Artist Ken Done, Melbourne based illustrator Beci Orpin, and Reko Rennie, who explores his Aboriginal identity through contemporary media, will select the winners, Gro-To, Birkenstock and the Mercedes-Benz V-Class are supporting partners.
