Celebrating Young Voices at the 2026 Awards Night

By AYAWP Team

The 2026 AYAWP Awards Night celebrated the incredible talent of young Australians across the country. Families, educators, and artists gathered to honour the outstanding artwork and writing produced by students throughout the year.

The evening featured readings from award-winning young writers, an exhibition of finalist artworks, and inspiring speeches from established Australian authors and illustrators who serve as mentors in our programs.

Congratulations to all the winners and finalists. Your creativity and courage in sharing your stories is what this program is all about.
