📣 ANNOUNCEMENT 📣

NAIDOC POSTER WINNER 2025! 🤩

The National NAIDOC Committee is proud to announce the winner of the 2025 National NAIDOC Week Poster Competition — Ancestral Lines by Jeremy Morgan Worrall

This powerful winning entry reflects this year’s NAIDOC theme: “The Next Generation: Strength, Vision &Legacy.”

The theme is a call to uplift, invest in, and listen to the emerging generations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples — and to honour the legacies that paved the way.

The 2025 National NAIDOC Week poster is a stunning digital artwork titled Ancestral Lines, created by Jeremy Morgan Worrall, a proud Ngarbal/Gomeroi man from Emmaville and Deepwater in northern New South Wales. His family lines include the Wrights, Connors, and Marlows.

Jeremy’s work honours the knowledge, care and cultural strength passed down through generations — from Ancestors Lucy, Enoch and Nonie Wright to his Nanna Audrie and his mother Vanessa. The artwork is set beneath the swirling clouds and moonlit skies of Tenterfield, where the next generation gathers around the fire — to listen, to learn, and to lead.

“When I look back at my mob, it helps me see towards the future,” Jeremy said.

“This piece tells the story of our knowledge — of lore, care, hunting, weaving, and love — being passed on through time. My hope is that it speaks to young people and shows them that they come from strength. They come from a legacy of survival and brilliance. And that gives us all vision for what comes next.”

Monday 26 May marks National Sorry Day across Australia.

The date acknowledges the anniversary of the tabling of Bringing them home: Report of the National Inquiry into the Separation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children from Their Families in the Australian Parliament in 1997. Commemorating Sorry Day was one of many significant recommendations of this report. Yet only 6% of those recommendations from 1997 have been completed.

We cannot wait another generation for action. Survivors deserve action now.
