DreamBIG Children’s Festival is South Australia’s iconic biennial arts festival for schools and families that places its audience at the centre of fresh, inventive, imaginative and inspiring arts experiences.

More than 2 million South Australian children have participated in the festival since its inception in 1974 (as Come Out Festival), and it remains an intrinsic part of growing up in South Australia.

Students are invited to participate in a poster design competition for the next DreamBIG Children’s Festival 2019. The winner will have their artwork professionally incorporated into a poster and win a $500 gift voucher.
