About
Burwood Council’s ninth Burwood Art Prize, run in partnership with the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, asks Sydney artists to respond to the theme I Am Here, on presence, identity, place and cultural narratives in multicultural Australia. The prize pool is $25,000: a $20,000 acquisitive Burwood Art Prize, a $2,500 Local Prize for Burwood residents and a $2,500 Youth Prize for artists aged 16 to 20. Each artist enters one work. A panel shortlists from images, then judges the selected works in person at the Burwood Library and Hub. Winners are announced at the opening on May 28, 2027.
Eligibility
Sydney-based artists aged 16 and over who are Australian citizens or permanent residents. One work per artist: painting, drawing, photography, mixed media, small sculpture (max 50 cm) or video (max 10 minutes). Wall works max 100 x 100 cm framed, 25 kg.
