General Information
2022 is an exciting year for the St Kevin’s Art Show as we launch our new name, Omnia Art Prize, and increase the major non-acquisitive prize to $15,000.
It’s a positive move for this much-loved art show, helping to cement its position as a premier art award that builds on its long and successful history.
Each year we invite established and emerging Australian artists to submit (through our online application) up to three contemporary works of art. The total prize pool available across three categories is $19,500.
Prize
There are three prizes on offer which are awarded by a guest judge:
- Major Prize – $15,000 for most outstanding work in any medium
- Brother McCarthy Memorial Award – $3,500 for best work on paper
- Audrey Culliver People’s Choice Award – $1,000 for most popular work
Note: Works on paper are eligible to be considered for the Major Prize and the Brother McCarthy Award so artists should not be discouraged from entering smaller works.
