Paddington Art Prize 2019

I was absolutely stoked to discover this in my inbox:

A $30,000 National acquisitive prize for a painting inspired by the Australian landscape, the Paddington Art Prize is now in its 16th year. In addition, UNSW Art & Design will offer a selected artist the opportunity to create a limited-edition print and a $3,000 prize sponsored by Chris Antico will be presented to the Honourable Mention recipient. Defiance Gallery will offer 2 artists the opportunity to exhibit at Mary Place Gallery in Sydney in 2019 along with a 3-week residency at the Nock Art Foundation, ‘Giverny’, in New Zealand in 2020. A $1,000 gift certificate will be presented to the Highly Commended recipient. Louisa Antico from Sofala Cottage will offer a selected artist a 1-week retreat at her beautiful guest house in Sofala NSW and we are continuing the People’s Choice Award with a $1,000 gift certificate sponsored by Fine Art Imaging.
