The Australian Meteorological & Oceanographic Society (AMOS) is a national not-for-profit organisation that provides support for and fosters interest in the climate, weather, water, and oceans sciences. Each year we hold a national art competition for students from pre-school through grade 9. A different theme each year guides student exploration. In 2019, it is “My Favourite Weather.” Australian students from preschool to grade 9 are invited to submit an artwork that illustrates how their favourite weather affects them. While the focus is on creativity, the artists are encouraged to reflect a real-life understanding of how weather influences daily life. The competition is being promoted directly to schools, targeting the following age categories: preschool, primary, k-2 primary, 3-6 secondary, and 7-9.
