Marylou Mineham’s ornate design bagged top honours - and a cool $200 - while there was a tie for second place with Demoore Abbas and Maddie Smith each taking home $50.
The‘Paint-a-Roo’ competition saw six local artistic youths selected to paint their designs onto the fibreglass kangaroos.
The judges - two from the Young council and two independent - assesed the unique pieces of art over the past few weeks.
The project aimed to raise awareness of youth issues in the town, especially youth mental health.
Art lovers can still check the colourful ‘roos in all their glory in the Town Hall foyer.
They’ll also be on display as part of the art exhibition at the Lambing Flat Chinese Festival.
