An open invitation: The Alice Prize is for every Australian

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. 

Consider this your invitation. If you’ve been wondering whether your work belongs here, the answer is yes. We’d love to see what you’re making.
