The bi-annual Corner Store Gallery Regional Landscape Prize aims to foster established and emerging creative talent in regional Australia, and will showcase regional, rural and outback Australia in all its brilliant and beautiful glory.
Artists are invited to submit one landscape artwork of any medium (video excluded) to be judged by a panel of experts. This competition is open to emerging and established artists living in regional, rural and outback Australia. Artworks submitted may depict any type of landscape, eg. traditional, rural, abstract, suburban, imagined etc. There is a size limit of 80cm in any direction.
Our definition of “regional Australia” includes all areas OUTSIDE of capital cities in EVERY STATE and TERRITORY. If you live in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra, Adelaide, Perth, Darwin or Hobart you are NOT eligible.
If your artwork is chosen as a finalist, it will then be judged by our panel of experts and the winners will be announced on Opening Night.
There are two prizes up for grabs:
Major Prize: $5000 cash prize, courtesy of Source Architects, and the opportunity to join our stable of artists, awarded to the overall winner of the competition.
Artists Residency: A two-week residency, at Quest Orange in 2023, to complete a body of work inspired by the Orange landscape. The final body of work will be exhibited at The Corner Store Gallery once completed and they have the opportunity to join our stable of artists. This prize will be awarded to a finalist who demonstrates exceptional promise and who may best benefit from the opportunity. This finalist may or may not be the same artist as the Major Prize winner.
Judges:
Madeline Young (Gallery Director and Artist), Sarah Thomas (Director and Owner of Gallery Alchemy.)
