The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission (ATSIC) launched the first official NAIDOC poster competition in the mid 1990′s inviting entries from around the country.
Winners receive prize money (this year $5,000) as well as national exposure for their work.
Entrants are required to develop an artwork based on each year's NAIDOC Week themes. This year's theme is the Yirrkala Bark Petitions of 1963. Previous years have included 'Respect the Past-Believe in the Future' (2006) and 'Families are the basis of our existence' (1994).
Featured below are the NAIDOC Week posters from 2006 to the present day. To see the posters from 1972, visit the NAIDOC Week poster gallery.
