Digital art competition

The 2025 Queensland Youth Week Digital Art competition celebrated the creativity and talent of young Queenslanders and highlighted the social and economic contributions young Queenslanders bring to our state.

Thank you to all 100 young artists from across Queensland who participated. Your submissions were judged on creativity, originality, and how well your artwork spoke to young people.

One artwork stood out above the rest to our panel of young judges. We are pleased to announce the winner for 2025 is the wonderful Yifei Hu, for her artwork “Commute”.

Yifei has won $1,000 and an exclusive license agreement with the Department of Housing and Public Works to support her continued artistic development and professional growth. Her artwork will also become the face of Queensland Youth Week 2026 – check it out!

"For “Commute”, I wanted to show how we are all on our own journeys, forming our identities, interests, passions and values; and that despite everything, we aren’t alone." - Yifei Hu
