Threatened Species Art and Writing Competition
Entries for TSAC 2023 have now closed. Congratulations to the winners who were invited to attend the awards night on 7 September on National Threatened Species Day.
About the competition
The Macarthur region, our backyard, is home to a wide diversity of native plants and animals. Many of these plants and animals are affected by a range of impacts such as habitat loss, competition and predation from non-native species and foreign diseases. There are a range of species occurring within the local region that are at risk of extinction and have been listed as ‘Threatened Species.’
The Threatened Species Art and Writing Competition (TSAC) is a regional environmental education program, involving Campbelltown City Council, Camden Council and Wollondilly Shire Council. The competition celebrates Biodiversity Month (September) and National Threatened Species Day on 7 September.
The competition targets all stages of primary school and is open to young people aged five to 12 years. TSAC encourages students to learn about a local threatened species and represent it in an artwork or creative writing piece.
The competition is now in its sixteenth year and through its cross-curricula nature has been successfully engaging primary schools in Geography, Science, Visual Arts and English throughout the Macarthur region.
