Young illustrators: share your drawings for the Year of the Goat

Children aged 5 to 12 years can submit their best goat drawings to be showcased as part of Sydney Lunar Festival 2027.

Closed

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for imaginative, vibrant and colourful drawings of goats. Your goat can be: 

  • celebrating the Lunar New Year 
  • performing, anything from dancing to juggling or singing 
  • holding a red envelope or lantern 
  • happy, friendly, laughing, cheeky 
  • free-spirited and adventurous. 

Your drawing needs to stand out and be recognisable from a distance. The selected goat drawings will displayed outdoors during Sydney Lunar Festival 2027.  

You can submit up to 2 different drawings, taking inspiration from the actions and qualities listed above.

Give your goat a name and in one sentence, provide a short description – does it have any special skills, qualities or talents you can tell us about?

Drawing requirements

  • The goat must be drawn in portrait orientation. Use A3 paper and make your drawing as large as possible on the page. 
  • Background colours or details aren’t required. The goat needs to be the feature of your artwork. 
  • You can use any materials including pencils, paint, crayons or in a digital format, for example, Adobe Illustrator. 
  • We’ll only accept original artworks. You must not use artificial intelligence to create or develop the drawings.

How to submit your drawings

  • Complete the entry form and attach a photo of each drawing. A smartphone photo is fine.
  • Keep the original drawings in a safe place. Selected drawings may need to be posted to us.
  • Make sure you read the terms and conditions before submitting your drawings.

Submit up to 2 drawings by 22 June

How we’ll use your drawing

If your drawing is selected, you’ll see it:

  • displayed outdoors in Haymarket during Sydney Lunar Festival 2027
  • printed on a t-shirt for you 
  • included on the Year of the Goat sticker sheet. 

You and your parent and/or guardian may also be invited to the Sydney Lunar Festival media opening.
