Bathurst’s 2025 Waste 2 Art theme is 'The Year of the Toys,' challenging participants to turn their used toys into artistic creations.
Australia's demand for toys and games is on the rise. Reports indicate that of the 200 thousand tonnes of imported toys in 2024, over 100 thousand tonnes of this will end up as waste.
To combat this, we can choose to reuse, recirculate and recycle our toys – or turn them into art!
The Waste 2 Art competition is open to schools, community groups and individuals, with a range of categories catered to different age groups and art types.
Competition and Exhibition Location
The 2025 Competition and Exhibition will be held at the Bathurst Memorial Entertainment Centre (BMEC), 105 William Street, Bathurst.
Delivering Artworks
Artists can deliver their artworks to BMEC on Sunday 4 May & Monday 5 May 10.00am - 3.00pm.
