The Sunshine Coast Art Prize is a dynamic visual arts award reflecting outstanding contemporary 2D arts practice in Australia. Now in its 16th year, this significant art award is the flagship event for the Sunshine Coast’s Regional Gallery in Caloundra, attracting entries from emerging and established artists across the nation.
This year we are delighted to have Renai Grace joining us as guest judge for the judged prize categories (Major Prize, Highly Commended and Artist Residency awards). Winners will be revealed at the Winners Announcement event on 23 September. The artwork awarded with the Major Prize will be acquired into the Sunshine Coast Art Collection. A People’s Choice prize is also decided by way of public vote by exhibition visitors.
Vote for your favourite artwork until 19 September.
