BURNIE PRINT PRIZE 2015
With the Burnie Print Prize increasing to $15,000 this year, the award is set to make a mark for Australian artists. Its new equal status establishes it as a most attractive prize for printmaking in Australia. Complementing this milestone is an impressive judging panel including guest judges Jason Smith, Curatorial Manager Australian Art at the Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art, and artists Helen Wright and Raymond Arnold. The enduring popularity of the prize promises a high calibre of exciting and diverse contemporary artists.
