This Albany Art Prize will not be held in 2019.

The City of Albany Art Prize is an annual acquisitive prize open to all Australian artists for a two dimensional painting.

The City of Albany Art Prize continues to play an important role in the cultural and economic development of the Great Southern region. The Prize is integral to the ongoing development of the City’s already sizeable Art Collection via the major acquisitive prize, which is sponsored by The Jack Family Charitable Trust.

Free Freight from your capital city
The City of Albany will pay for the freight of the selected works to travel from the relevant Capital City to Albany and back again. The artist will be responsible for transport of the work to and from the transport depot to meet the freight deadlines as advised by the Coordinator.

Prizes

  • Major Prize - $25,000 and well as this major cash prize, the winner will have the opportunity to spend up to four weeks in a self-contained studio cottage, at theVancouver Arts Centre, Albany, with $2500 for associated expenses.

  • Non-acquisitive prize - $2,500

  • People's Choice - $2,500

Artworks entered into this art prize are to be substantially painted, meaning that other media such as those used in drawing (for example, pencil and charcoal), printmaking and collage can be included, but only if paint remains the dominant medium. Photography and sculpture are not accepted.
