A new Surf Coast Shire Community Art Prize is set to celebrate, showcase and inspire creative talents across the municipality.
The Community Art Prize will offer a total of $3,600 in prizemoney across four categories, and all eligible works will be part of a community exhibition at Anglesea Art Space.
Each will be assessed by an independent panel of judges from outside the shire before naming of recipients of:
- The Community Art Prize, $1,500
- Emerging Artist Award, $800
- First Nations Creative Award, $800
During the exhibition community members will be able to cast votes in a People's Choice Award, with a $500 prize going to the winning artist.
Submissions for the Community Art Prize are open to shire residents, ratepayers and tenants and close on 28 September.
Artists can submit one work, in any medium, which must have been created during the past two years.
