Our popular Youth Jersey Design Competition is back in 2025 and we can’t wait to see we what the high school artists in the Mackay, Isaac and Whitsunday regions have in stall for us.

The 2024 winner of our first Jersey Design Competition was Naiya Luczynski, a student from Moranbah State High School. Naiya’s design was shortlisted along with two others by our BMA River 2 Reef Ride sponsorship team. Naiya then went on to become the overall winner when her design titled “Where cane meets coral” was chosen in a voting contest by our online followers.

There is $850 in prize money up for grabs. If you are a high school artist in the Mackay, Isaac and Whitsunday regions we invite you to show us your talent. Design our 2025 BMA River 2 Reef Ride jersey. Start designing now ready to submit your design when entries open on the 3rd January 2025.

BMA continued support of community initiatives in the Mackay area means more and more people and in particular our youth have access to opportunities to learn new skills, lead healthy lives and build confidence in themselves and their own abilities. We were proud to support students at Mackay Clontarf Academy alongside BMA and Corry Cycles to develop riding skills in the lead up to this year's BMA River 2 Reef Ride and then to complete the Queensland Country Health Fund 30km Dash. and their students join the ride, marking an inspiring moment for the entire community 🌟. #BMARiver2Reef #CyclingCommunity #MackayEvents #HealthyLiving #TogetherWeRide
