The annual regional visual arts competition features artworks across multiple platforms and disciplines and welcomes applications from local and national artists who can showcase their art and win a share of $40,000 across 10 categories.

Kalgoorlie-Boulder has a growing reputation for being a hub for regional arts and culture, influenced by the long-standing prestigious exhibition and strong arts community. The Art Prize provides an opportunity to celebrate this artistic vibrancy and creativity within the local community and beyond.

For the third year, there will be no theme to direct the artwork submissions following the success of the 2022 and 2023 Art Prize. This provides artists with creative freedom and more time to plan and prepare works, which the City anticipates will attract an increase in entries.

The City provides a free pick-up freight service for entries coming from Perth, Esperance, Merredin, Laverton, Leonora, and Menzies each year. It is a great opportunity to showcase artwork from these regional areas, many of which often don’t have local exhibitions of this scale.
