Hawkesbury Art Prize

The Hawkesbury Art Prize is a non-acquisitive award of $10,000. The art prize is for a painting, photograph or collage that is inspired by contemporary Australian identity.

It has been set up as a not for profit project run by Purple Noon Gallery, in association with Patron, Maggie Scott. The first prize of $10,000 has been generously donated by Maggie Scott.

Three additional prizes of $1,000 for ‘Highly Commended’ will also be awarded (one to a local resident). Three judges will select the award winners.

The aim of the Hawkesbury Art Prize is to promote art in the Hawkesbury region and increase awareness of art and cultural activity, to the mutual benefit of community, artists and students.

It is proposed that in future years, the prize will lead to the establishment of a scholarship for talented and deserving young artists in the region.
