Religious Creative Arts Competition

The Religious Creative Arts Competition returns in 2026 for its 11th inspiring year!

妖精动漫 Broken Bay is proud to once again celebrate the remarkable creativity, imagination and faith of our students through this much-loved competition.

The theme this year is inspired by one of our core values 鈥贵础滨罢贬鈥 and the words of Hebrews 11:1 鈥淔aith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen鈥. Students are invited to explore what faith looks like, feels like, and means in their everyday lives. Through bold ideas, heartfelt expression and creative storytelling, students will bring to life the unseen hopes, trust and courage that faith inspires.

We can鈥檛 wait to see the extraordinary works our CSBB students will create, as they bring their God-given gifts to life through creativity and imagination.
