New State Headquarters Art Competition Winners Announced

The NSW SES New State Headquarters Project Team in conjunction with the NSW SES Volunteers Association, recently held an art competition across the NSW SES membership to design an artwork for the entrance floor outside the new SHQ building currently being refurbished in Burelli Street, Wollongong.

The challenging design brief was to depict ‘NSW SES Past, Present and Future’ into a circular design concept.

The project received 15 entries from across the Service, each of them translating the brief with creative ingenuity. 

The judging panel, consisting of Acting Commissioner Greg Newton, Chief Finance Officer Julie Hately, NSW SES Volunteers Association representatives President Charlie Moir and Area Representative Pat Johnson, and NSW SES young volunteers Jesse Slade from City of Sydney Unit and Peter Lin from Liverpool Unit, were faced with a challenging final decision.

The winning entry was a beautiful and clever design by Roy Gilmore from Manly Unit, who captured the core roles of flood, storm and tsunami with a crystal ball enveloping the NSW SES roundel in a vibrant work.

Other outstanding entries were received from:  

  • 2nd place - Rosemary Walker from Queanbeyan Unit
  • Equal 3rd place - Charleston Chachuela  from SHQ, Wollongong and Suzanne Woods from Kur-rin-gai Unit.

Congratulations Roy, and many thanks to all who dedicated their time and effort in producing quality artwork into their amazing designs.​ 

First Place - Roy Gilmore from Manly Unit

Second Place - Rosemary Walker from Queanbeyan Unit

Equal Third Place - Charleston Chachuela from SHQ, Wollongong and Suzanne Woods from Kur-rin-gai Unit
