This year’s Environmental Art & Design Prize attracted almost 700 entries from across the nation, many sharing a common theme of how the issues of climate change and sustainability affect local communities across the globe.

We are delighted to announce that 191 impressive works of art and design have been selected as finalists for the exhibition opening on 1 August 2025.

Finalists include a range of early career and established artists and designers, who together will create 3 contemporary exhibitions exploring critical environmental issues, showing at Manly Art Gallery & Museum, Curl Curl Creative Space and Mona Vale Creative Space Gallery from 1 August to 14 September.

This Year’s prize money is an impressive $20,000 for each of the Art and Design categories, making the design category one of Australia’s richest design awards. The Young Artists and Designers winners will receive a total of $3,000, and the three People’s Choice winners will receive $1,000 per venue.
