Call for Artists: Hornsby Art Prize
Deadline: Friday 5 November 2010, National

This year the competition prize pool has grown by 50 percent. Generous donations from local businesses have also allowed cash, gift vouchers, products and scholarship opportunities to be awarded in categories including: painting; sculpture; drawing and printmaking; youth junior (12-16 years) and youth senior (17-24 years).

A total prize pool of more than $15,000 is up for grabs for the 2010 Hornsby Art Prize.

The artwork judged as best overall (the acquisitive Hornsby Art Prize) will win a total prize package of $6,590. The package comprises $5,000 cash, a scholarship for the Mitchell School of Arts and gift vouchers.

Selected entries from the 2010 Hornsby Art Prize will be exhibited at Cherrybrook Community and Cultural Centre in November as part of the six-week Hornsby Shire Festival of the Arts, which commences on Friday 22 October.

The entry fee is $15 per artwork and entries close on Friday 5 November. The competition is open to all permanent residents of Australia. Entries will be judged by a panel of experienced local art practitioners.
