66th Blake Prize

Entries to one of Australia’s longest-standing and most prestigious prizes are now open. 

The 66th Blake Art And Poetry Prizes, presented by the Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre (CPAC), encourage artists who are exploring the wider experience of spirituality, religion and belief to submit their entries online now.

Since 1951, the Blake Prize has engaged artists, nationally and internationally, with ideas of spirituality and religion. The 2018 prize received 769 entries from across Australia and the world, a massive 30% increase from 2016.

Past entrants have included the legendary Reg Mombasa – with his piece Stations Of The Cross No. 10 making the finals.

There are three prizes up for grabs this year. Firstly there is the top tier Blake Prize which will see the winner award $35,000. Next up is The Blake Emerging Artist Prize which awards the winner with $6,000. Finally there is the The Blake Established Artists Residency which gives the winner a residency and solo exhibition to be hosted by CPAC.

The Blake Poetry Prize winner will also be awarded $5,000, and feature in the exhibition alongside the Art Prize Exhibition of finalists.
