Bombala Art Prize

Immerse yourself in the practice of painting ‘en plein air ‘at the Bombala Art Prize on Saturday, 18 April 2026.

With a prestigious $20,000 prize pool awarded during the Bombala Arts Prize Awards Dinner, this is more than a competition - it’s an unforgettable experience of community and creativity in nature.

Set against the autumnal backdrop of Bombala Riverside Park, this event invites artists to capture nature’s beauty where you encounter it. Let the vibrant colours inspire your brushstrokes.

Artist registration and Awards Dinner tickets will go on sale in December.
