Art Competitions
Gold Coast, Brisbane and Sunshine Coast Region

Over the many years of teaching, students frequently asked about competition opportunities. So in 2001, I felt it was time that an Australian-wide comprehensive single source for art competitions in Australia and New Zealand was due. This birthed the"Art Directory" enumerating over 1500 competitions, published in book and online format since 2001. Due to the mounting work, I then contacted Discovery Media for the integration of their by then existing "Art Prizes Australia". 

The following art shows listed are only for artists living within the Gold Coast, Brisbane and Sunshine Coast area.
​
If you like to submit an art show NOT listed here for this area, I would love to hear from you by filling in the form at the end of this page for submission. 

Wishing you all the best with your entries.
