2021 Mosman Youth Art Prize Entries Now Open

The Mosman Youth Art Prize features the diverse talents of the country’s young, aspiring and emerging artists and offers them the opportunity to exhibit their work in a public art gallery. Young artists aged between 12 – 21 submit artworks in a variety of media including: painting, sculpture, drawing, printmaking, video, photography and ceramics to win over $7,000 in cash prizes and art materials.

The 2021 Mosman Youth Art Prize judge is Sydney-based multidisciplinary artist Abdul Abdullah whose practice is primarily concerned with the experience of the ‘other’. Abdullah’s projects have engaged with different marginalized minority groups and he is particularly interested in the disjuncture between perception/projection of identity and the reality of lived experience. Identifying as a Muslim and having both Malay/Indonesian and convict/settler Australian heritage, Abdullah occupies a precarious space in the political discourse that puts him at odds with popular definitions.

ARTWORK RECEIPTING DAY is Tuesday 27 April, 8.30am-6pm.
Artwork must be delivered to the Gallery on this day.

Maximum one entry per artist. Entry forms must be completed online prior to receipting day.
