Design a Rhino Competition

Design a Rhino Competition

Thanks to our new partner, South African Tourism, we put four of our Rhino sculptures up for a redesign, asking the Taronga audience to design their new coat!

The winners are in - these four Rhinos will call Taronga Zoo Sydney home over the next few months.

We invited you to celebrate the iconic Black Rhino and design your very own South African inspired artwork that will placed on our Rhino sculpture and displayed at Taronga Zoo, Sydney. South African Tourism wants to shine a light on this endangered species with the hope that one day you might see one in the wild!

Through competitions like these, we can celebrate that borders are open and your adventure awaits in South Africa! South Africa is the perfect safari destination for families with many lodges offering safari game drives for kids, Junior Ranger Programs and conservation activities kids can get involved with. Seeing a rhino in the wild is a sight to behold, and best of all, your visit to South Africa’s wildlife reserves funds conservation initiatives which work toward preserving this species for generations to come.
