Welcome to the inaugural ArtsCape art competition
UNDERCURRENT
ArtsCape's Emerging Artist Prize

Winners will be selectected  by representatives from our award sponsors.
Most prizes are aquisitional and this should be taken into consideration when entering art works.

This is an exciting new art prize that aims to showcase the incredible local artists from our beautiful and remote region of Tasmania. We encourage all members of the Cradle Coast region to enter their artworks. At ArtsCape we are looking at ways in which to bring together a community of like minded people and to show the incredible creatives that surround us. 

What are the conditions of entry? Entrants must not be considered professional artists (ie: represented by a manager or a commercial gallery) and are current residents of the North West or Cradle Coast Region of Tasmania. If you have exhibited locally or in a gallery you are still eligible to enter as long as you cannot make a living off your art alone or recognised as a professional artist. 

All forms of visual arts will be considered for entry.

To enter please download the form below and bring it with you on the drop of date on the 30th of September to the ArtsCape building, 45 Jackson street Wynyard, between 11-1pm. If you are unable to make that date then please contact us to make special arrangements.
