TORQUAY College student DeeDee has been crowned the people’s choice champion of the 2024 Surf Coast Shire Community Calendar competition.<\/p>\n

The nine-year-old’s mixed media piece ‘Salty’, captured the attention of the 400 in person and online voters with its vibrant colour and clever use of sea salt and sponges.<\/p>\n

Her vibrant artwork was made with paper, salt, food dye, acrylic paint, glue, felt marker and graphite pencil.<\/p>\n

As the 13th winner, DeeDee’s piece will grace the cover of the calendar and feature alongside the other 12 earlier winners.<\/p>\n

Councillor Gary Allen said DeeDee’s piece was a perfect choice for the cover.<\/p>\n

“The artwork is beautiful, and so colourful. For someone in grade three I have no doubt, there are many more artworks in DeeDee’s future.<\/p>\n

“All of the pieces entered this year show the diversity found in the Surf Coast, and every year I love seeing how artists capture and express the theme.”<\/p>\n

A total of fifty-five local artists entered the calendar competition across the four categories of Child, Youth, 2D and 3D.<\/p>\n
