A cross-disciplinary exhibition of selected works by artists and designers across the country who are engaged with the natural world, environmental renewal, regeneration and the circular economy. In its inaugural year, the award celebrates contemporary art and design practices that are socially engaged, environmentally aware and that seek to contribute to positive change.

The Prize is presented across three Northern Beaches’ arts venues: Manly Art Gallery & Museum; Curl Curl Creative Space and the Mona Vale Pop Up Gallery.

This year the Prize judges are internationally renowned artist Euan Macleod; artist, designer and curator Liane Rossler; and CEO and Artistic Director of the Australian Design Centre, Lisa Cahill. Winners will be announced on the evening of the 25th November. 

Visitors are also encouraged to vote for their favourite works in the People’s Choice Awards. The voting forms are available on site at each of the exhibition venues. Voting closes Sunday 5 December, 5pm and winners for the People’s Choice Awards will be announced on Saturday 11 December.
