The Basil Sellers Art Prize is an acquisitive biennial competition celebrating and awarding artistic excellence and creative practice. Offering a prize pool of over $30,000 our prize champions 2D artworks in traditional mediums of painting, drawing, and printmaking (unique state).
Finalists from across Australia will be eligible for the $25,000 acquisitive award generously supported by Mr. Basil Sellers AM. The Eurobodalla Prize offers $5,000 in recognition of an outstanding local entry.
Now in its 20th year the prize is generously supported by Basil Sellers AM and Eurobodalla Shire Council.
At the Bas, we recognise the significant investment of time, energy, money, and skill artists pour into art prizes even before their work is selected for exhibition. With this understanding, we are dedicated to making our prize as artist-friendly as possible. We acknowledge that exceptional art knows no boundaries. Artists from any background or region across Australia are encouraged to enter regardless of industry experience or prominence.
