Last year, Laverton Shooting Stars participant Jenae Evans created the winning artwork. A Wongatha girl, Jenea, who is inspired by elders and artists who came before her, said her artwork style is a mixture of traditional and digital.
Jenea included different colours and symbols all with their own meanings, stating: “the red to represent the dirt, blue to represent the water, and the yellow to represent the sun… the symbol of people sitting to show how Shooting Stars can bring people together.”
Now into its sixth year, the competition is open to all NAIDOC Carnival participants, Shooting Stars site participants and Netball WA Grassroots sites participants.
The winning design will be selected by a panel of voluntary judges, with the selected winner having the most creative design and/or the most meaningful story.
The winning design will be replicated on more than 500 netballs for the 2025 Boorloo NAIDOC Netball Carnival.
To enter, participants must submit their Gilbert ball design and accompanying story to partnerships@netballwa.com.au. The 2025 NAIDOC Netball Design Competition closes on 30August 2024.
