Young creators nationwide have been invited to pick up their paintbrushes and sketch their ultimate vision of the nation's future in an imaginative new nationwide contest. Minister Norma Foley officially opened the doors to the creative challenge, which specifically welcomes participants aged four to fifteen to express their unique hopes and aspirations through visual art.
