This year’s Northern Beaches Art Prize (formerly Warringah Art Prize) is adapting to current times of social isolation during COVID-19 and is being hosted online.
The 2020 art prize invites artists and designers to submit digital artwork in the format of a digital postcard that responds to the theme Postcards from the Home, drawing on experiences and emotions connected to home isolation during COVID-19. Works can be across any art practice that is photographed and submitted as a simple postcard.
The award is open to all level of artists and designers, from hobbyists to professionals. And better still, to support our local creative community we are waiving the entry fees.
The exhibition will include 60 chosen artworks, across Open and Youth categories, providing a snapshot of what ‘home’ means in the year 2020.
Being online means that art lovers can also enjoy the exhibition from the comfort of their own homes.

Submission deadline | Sunday 28 June, 5pm |
Finalists are notified | Friday 3 July |
Prize winners announced (10 in each category) | Friday 31 July |
