It is our pleasure to announce that entries for the tenth annual Emerging Artist Award are now open!
Submissions are open to emerging Australian visual artists whose work exemplifies innovation and originality across a range of media, from cutting-edge artistic practices to new takes on traditional styles.
A selection of works will be chosen for a two-week exhibition from 8 July – 19 July 2025 held across our two gallery spaces at 45 Flinders Lane. A special guest judge will award a $3000 pool of prize money to the two submissions that best align with the award criteria. As well, the People’s Choice Award gives the public the chance to vote for their favourite work.
Submission Deadline: Monday 19 May 2025, 5pm
Exhibition Dates: Tuesday 8 July – Saturday 19 July 2025
