Open to Australian contemporary artists working in any 2D medium and in new media, the award offers a prize pool of more than $35,000.
The forty artworks selected as finalists will be exhibited at the Caloundra Regional Gallery from 15 August until 12 October 2025.
The recipients of the Major prize, Highly Commended and Artist Residency will be determined by our guest judge. The major prizewinning artwork will be acquired into the Sunshine Coast Art Collection. Winners will be announced on Thursday 25 September 2025.
A People’s Choice Award will also be announced, as voted by exhibition visitors. You can vote for your favourite work from this year’s finalists and go in the draw to win a $100 Gallery Store voucher.
