Purpose

The Alice Prize is an acquisitive national contemporary art prize, welcoming entries from around Australia, in any medium or theme.

Overview

We mean it. The Alice Prize welcomes all Australian artists - established and emerging; urban, regional and remote - working in painting, performance, textiles, ceramics, photography, digital media, sculpture, sound, installation and more.

Finalists are selected blind by an expert panel, the award is decided by a respected national judge, and the winning acquired work will join a public collection that lives in Central Australia - allowing audiences to learn from, challenge and celebrate contemporary creativity over time.

We are proud to present The Alice Prize in a region known internationally for contemporary Aboriginal art, and we're equally clear about our remit: to showcase fresh work from right across Australia. That way, Central Australians encounter a broader mix of practices and perspectives, and Australian artists gain a vibrant national platform in the Centre.
