The 2024 River of Art Prize is now open
Artists and makers across Australia, within and beyond the Eurobodalla region are invited to enter the 2024 River of Art Prize, part of Eurobodalla’s unique, annual arts festival, now in its 20th year.
The Prize offers a platform for artists to portray any vision or subject and can cross all mediums from painting, watercolour, mixed media, pencil or sculpture and photography.
2024 sees the Art Prize return to Narooma Gallery, where the exhibition of finalists will run for the festivals 11 days. Friday 27 September from 5pm will see the announcement of the prize winners and marks the official opening of the festival. The Art Prize is generously supported by Narooma School of Arts.
The total prize pool is $5500.00, a first prize of $3,500 is awarded to the artist of the winning work, the runner up is awarded $1,500 and highly commended works awarded $500. In addition the River of Art has a People’s Choice award.
From the finalists (approximately 25 works) the judges selects the overall winner, runner up and highly commended works. The judges decisions are final. Shortlisting is decided by the judges on the basis of a digital image of the submitted work, details of which are set out in the application form.
Shortlisted works will appear in the River of Art Prize exhibition which will run over the 11 days of the Festival with the prize announced at the Festival launch. The ‘Peoples Choice’ is announced at the close of the Festival.
Entries close on Thursday August 8, with the launch of the finalists’ exhibition and an awards ceremony on September 27, marking the start of the Festival’s two week program. Entries can be lodged via the online application form.
