From the organiser

Presented by Lismore Regional Gallery in partnership with the Koori Mail Newspaper, this biennial award has rapidly established itself as a significant national platform for contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art, showcasing ambitious new work from emerging and established artists across the country.

The award sees an expanded prize pool, including a Major Award and a Youth Award (ages 18 to 25), underscoring the Award's growing national profile and commitment to supporting the next generation of Indigenous artists.

The Guest Judge is Dr Kimberley Moulton, a Yorta Yorta curator, writer and academic widely recognised as one of Australia's leading contemporary curatorial voices.
