The Banyule Award for Works on Paper is awarded biennially to an outstanding contemporary work on paper. This is a prestigious national art prize, with the winning artwork entered into the Banyule Art Collection.
In 2023, in addition to acquiring the winning artwork, we acquired 6 additional artworks from the finalists’ exhibition, continuing to make a significant investment in Australian artists and in this prize.
Each iteration of the Banyule Award for Works on Paper is directed by a theme that aligns either with a current direction in art, pressing contemporary issue or a matter of local interest at the time.
The Heidelberg School was the first significant colonial art movement in Australia. The name was first coined in 1891 by art critic Sidney Dickinson to describe the group of Australian Impressionist artists who painted en plein air in the rural outskirts of Sydney and Melbourne, and had established an outdoor painting camp in the Heidelberg and Eaglemont area.
With their iconic representation of Australia’s colonial history and heritage, these realist and highly romanticised European-style paintings have long provided us with the artists’ early impressions of the landscape and settler life.
We invite artists to enter artworks that critique, respond to, are inspired by, or otherwise explore concepts around the Heidelberg School art movement, interrogating our ideas of the Australian landscape, heritage and colonial history.
This is an exciting opportunity to have your artwork displayed alongside original Heidelberg School paintings, which are on long-term loan from the National Gallery of Australia with support from the Australian Government as part of Sharing the National Collection. #artacrossaustralia

The NSW State Library has purchased Sandi Rigby’s box of 11 etchings of Powerful Owls. Sandi said the etchings were started in 2012, for a project to fight a development that was going to knock down part of a local Blue Gum Forest, the habitat for a pair of Powerful Owls. Sandi monitored the pair over a season, and was rewarded with sighting of their chicks. Powerful Owls are listed as “vulnerable”.
The box contained the story and a drawing of the area in habituated by the owls. The Library hopes to put them in an exhibition next year for recent acquisitions.
