Different types of visual arts prizes
Apart from some of the more obvious points of difference between visual arts prizes there are some quite
important, but not so obvious ones. We think of prizes by media or by location but there is another
dimension -
 Private gallery art prizes – eg Paddington Art Prize, Lethbridge10,000
 University Prizes – eg. University of Queensland National Portrait Prize, Basil Sellers Art Prize
 Metropolitan Public Art Gallery Prizes – e.g. Archibald Prize at the AGNSW, National Works on Paper
at the Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery, Telstra National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Art
Award at the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory
 Private & Community Art Prizes – e.g. Black Swan Prize for Portraiture, HeadOn Portrait Prize, Vase Art
Award, Vasse Primary School
 Regional Gallery art prizes – e.g. Stanthorpe Art Festival, Geelong Contemporary Art Prize, Gold Coast
International Ceramic Art Award, Local Artists Local Content at the Caloundra Regional Gallery
Queensland, Gab Titui Indigenous Art Award on Thursday Island
 Council Organised Prizes – Sunshine Coast Art Prize, City of Kalgoorlie Boulder Art Prize, Kimberley Art
Prize, City of Albany Art Prize, Albany
