All school students, from Reception to Year 12, are invited to enter the 2025 DreamBIG Poster Competition.

Entries must be an original artwork and reflect the 2025 DreamBIG Children's Festival's theme of 'I was, I am, I will be', and be submitted by Thursday 11 April, at 5pm.

The winning artwork will be adapted by a professional designer and used across next year's DreamBIG's posters, signs, advertising and resources. The winner will also receive a $500 arts supply gift card.

Formerly known as Come Out Festival when it began in 1974, DreamBIG is held every two years and is the largest event of its kind in Australia, incorporating workshops, exhibitions and performances. It will be held from May 7-17 next year.

More than 100,000 young people attended the festival last year, which featured more than 200 sold-out performances.
