National NAIDOC Poster Competition

2009 poster

The National NAIDOC Poster Competition is an opportunity for talented Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists to have their artwork showcased across Australia as part of NAIDOC celebrations.

Each year, Indigenous artists are invited to submit artwork(s) based on the national NAIDOC theme. The NAIDOC theme for 2010 is Unsung Heroes - Closing the Gap by Leading Their Way.

The winning artwork - chosen by the National NAIDOC Committee - is reproduced on the NAIDOC poster, which is circulated nationwide to promote the week and the theme. The winning artist receives a prize of $5000 and national recognition and exposure, with their artwork displayed in schools, work places and community organisations across Australia.

Artists can enter the competition online, or by mailing the artwork, with a completed application form, to the National NAIDOC Committee.

Limited stock of the 2009 National NAIDOC poster is still available, featuring the artwork of Luke Mallie. You can order your free copy by calling 1800 050 009.
