Citylibraries Flinders Street blends heritage, learning, and community in the heart of the city. Home to Townsville’s Local History Service and Collection, it offers a rich window into the region’s past alongside modern amenities including free public PCs, a welcoming children’s area, and a versatile public meeting room. Just a short stroll from The Strand, this central library provides a relaxed, accessible space for research, reading, and discovery.
The awards attract a high calibre of local and national entries, with competitors vying for the acquisitive $10,000 City of Townsville Art Collection Award and a $1,000 People’s Choice Award. Entries close 5pm on Tuesday 7 July 2026.
