Connections Showcase

How to enter

Submissions for the 2024 Connections Showcase are now closed.

Throughout the year, students and their teachers are offered the opportunity to engage in a variety of projects and programs that enable them to create their own works based on a central theme. Students and their schools are then invited to showcase their works online in Term 4.

The theme for 2024 is 'This is Me'.

Sharing your work with us

The Arts Unit adds audio descriptions and video captions to submissions included in this online showcase. Due to this, we ask that you please provide us with unedited images, not slideshows, and raw video footage, not including closed captions or subtitles.

Please share your artwork via a web link in the application form. We recommend using a cloud storage system e.g. Google Drive, OneDrive or Dropbox. You can then share the link for this in the application form below.

  • For Google Drive, right click on the file and select 'share' from the dropdown. Select 'anyone with link can view' and copy/paste the link.
  • For OneDrive, hover over the file and select the icon with the curved arrow. Select either 'anyone with link' or 'anyone in the NSW Department of Education with link' and copy/paste the link.
  • For Dropbox, hover over file and select the 'share' button that appears. Check that under the link it's set to 'anyone with link can see it'. Copy/paste the link.

Note: DoE staff have access to both Google Drive (via G Suite) and OneDrive (via Microsoft 365) via their staff portal.
