apologies for this delay.
This scheme aims to promote the work of emerging artists through

at least one of their works being purchased.
Two artists will be selected every six months using the following
selection criteria:
* artistic merit and well-developed concepts.
* a well developed artistic practice and vision of a
professional career.
Artistic merit will be judged on the basis of work completed to
date. The applicant's commitment to furthering his/her career in
the visual arts, will be assessed from information provided in the
CV, artist’s statement and letters of recommendation by referees.
Unsuccessful applicants are welcome to re-apply, but successful
applicants are ineligible for further assistance through this scheme.
Eligibility:
* You must be an “emerging artist” you have probably practiced
as a professional artist continually for less than 5 years but wish
to develop your career in your chosen artform.
* You must be an Australian or New Zealand citizen, or have
permanent resident status in Australia or New Zealand.
Applicants are required to:

Application Form

non-exclusive copyright license from the winning entrant to allow
his/her work to be reproduced for the same purpose and for
acquittal and annual reporting requirements.
