Eligibility
Any artist who is an Australian resident and practising in at least one of the fields of painting, drawing, sculpture or ceramics. (If you work in sculpture or ceramics, you would be required to support your work with drawings.)
We value artists who demonstrate a devotion to maintaining and developing skills of drawing and painting. This does not rule out innovative approaches or variable media, but it does exclude technological alternatives such as CGI that dispenses with traditional material such as chalk, ink, graphite, silverpoint, pastel, watercolour, gouache or oil paint. As such the judging will reflect this.
Preference may be given to an emerging and mid-career artist, to help develop their career.
