It is with great excitement and joy that Shoalhaven City Council announced the winners of the 2022 Threatened Species Artwork Competition! This year saw over two hundred entries of creative works from primary school aged children.

The theme of ‘Wonderous Waterways’ was incorporated into the entries. Shoalhaven City Council thanks all students for their participation in this event and for helping to educate and create awareness to the upcoming generations about threatened species in our region and how we can help to protect them and the environment we all call home!
