The John Leslie Art Prize is open to all artists living and working in Australia for landscape paintings that have been completed since 1 July 2018.
Inaugurated in 2000, the Prize is named after John Leslie OBE (1919—2016), Patron of the Gippsland Art Gallery.
The continuation of the Prize is made possible by the generous ongoing support of the John Leslie Foundation.
Prizes include the $20,000 acquisitive prize as well as a $1,000 non-acquisitive prize for the ‘Best Gippsland Work’.
Artists are invited to enter up to two original paintings, with a Gallery-appointed panel to shortlist a selection of finalists for exhibition from 16 May to 26 July 2020.
