To encourage children and families to attend "Taste an Arts Sensation: Feeding young children's appetite for learning" and engage in art experiences, an art competition was launched. The "Taste an Arts Sensation" competition aimed to raise local awareness of this exciting event and promote the importance of the Arts for children's expression, creativity and learning.

Daycare centres, Kindergartens and Prep classes were invited to participate in the competition.

The Arts competition aimed to involve children in an art activity that allows them to express, experiment, consider, create and follow their dreams.
