Artists wil need to be nominated and not all artists nominated will necessarily be accepted. This is a biennial award.
Indigenous artists working in any theme or media including (but not restricted to) painting on bark, canvas and paper, prints, sculpture, fibre art, ceramics, glass, photography, and digital media can be nominated.
This newly established (2008), non-acquisitive national award celebrates the diversity and richness of Indigenous art from across the country. The Awards acknowledges the significant contribution Indigenous artists make to Australia. Presented annually, they are set to become a premiere event in the national Indigenous arts calendar. The main award of $50,000 is the most generous of Indigenous art awards in Australia.

- WA artist award (for West Australian Artists) - $10,000
- The People's Choice Award - $5,000
The award's exhibition showcases outstanding works by the sixteen selected Indigenous artists from across the nation. Each of the artists will bring a unique vision to the Awards and, placed together, their work will reveal the dominant and emerging mediums, subjects and experiences shaping contemporary Indigenous art today.
