Your contributions have been invaluable in shaping The Australian Child and Youth Wellbeing Atlas. We are grateful for your artistic vision and the impact it will have on improving the lives of children and youth across Australia.
We look forward to celebrating your creativity and continuing to witness your artistic journey.
Competition overview
The logo you create will be used on a dynamic online platform that offers a comprehensive place-based view of the health and wellbeing of children across Australia. It will serve as a valuable resource for the community, researchers, and policy-makers in government to better understand children and young people's health and make informed decisions based on the available data.
We invite you to consider incorporating visual elements that symbolise data, connectivity, health, and youthfulness.
“A logo is a special picture, symbol or design that companies or groups use to help people recognise them.”
Who can participate?
The competition aims to showcase the diverse perspectives of young people aged 0 to 24 on health and wellbeing, whilst encouraging participants to express their unique visions of what health and wellbeing means to them through their art.
Whether it's a digital creation, hand-drawn illustration, painting, chalk art, or crayon masterpiece, we welcome all forms of media. We want to celebrate the creativity and imagination of young minds while exploring your personal views on what makes for a healthy life. All skill levels are welcome to participate!

Bonus prize
As an added perk of participating in the logo competition, all participants will have the opportunity to engage in a live Q&A session with the Creative Director of NeuroPower™ Group. This exclusive session will provide participants with a unique chance to gain insights into the journey of becoming a professional graphic designer and to explore various aspects of design and creativity.
During the Q&A, participants will have the opportunity to ask questions about the creative director's experiences, challenges faced in the design industry, tips for honing artistic skills, and any other design-related topics of interest. The session aims to inspire and empower young individuals on their creative journeys and provide valuable guidance from a seasoned professional.
The session will be conducted through a designated online platform, allowing participants from different locations to join and actively participate. Further details regarding the date, time, and instructions for accessing the live Q&A session will be provided to participants after the winners have been announced.
We believe that this interaction with a creative industry professional will be an enriching experience, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for the world of art, design and creativity.
