The Tanjil Valley Art Show is now in its 19th year and has become a community event appreciated by both children and adults alike.
The art show will be held at the Hill End Community Centre, 22 Paynter's Road, Hill End on the King's Birthday weekend.
The primary purpose of the show is to encourage the community to participate in and also showcase the Tanjil Valley.
Entries are received from all over Gippsland and beyond and is well supported by sponsors from local businesses and families.
Categories include 2D art for adults, 14 to 18-year olds, and under 14s.
The 2D adult art section must represent the Tanjil Valley in some way, whether vistas, flora and fauna, waterways, human activities, buildings, machinery etc.
An open topic is available for the "Little Treasures" section, maximum size 30cm x30cm.
A choice of topic is available for 14 to 18-year-olds and under 14s.
The photography subject is "Baw Baw Shire" and for the under 19s the subject is open.
This year, there is a new section called "Mini Portraits", where the subjects can be people or pets.
There also is also a section for "Creative Digital Art", something not found in many art shows.
The major award is "The Best Portrayal of the Tanjil Valley", as well as six 'Special Awards' and many minor awards totalling more than $5000.
Refreshments will be available on the three open days and further information can be found on the Facebook page.
