The TRAILS Sculpture Prize is a public art initiative in Portland, Victoria, open to all artists, established and emerging, with prizes totalling $10,000.
In its 3rd year, TRAILS is exhibiting even more works across two concurrent exhibitions. Up to 30 finalists will be showcased throughout the retail hub of Portland's CBD, and an additional 30 small scale works will be exhibited in a single gallery space.
Entries for this year closed on February 13.
Judges
Finalists will be determined by a Trails Selection Panel with the three major winners awarded by Principal Judge Ian Tully. The final award will be decided by a People's Choice vote.
Events
Within the exhibition trail a pop-up studio will house a practising artist and free hands-on workshops.
Witnessing the progressive development of an artwork and the various techniques and equipment used by the artist, at each stage, offers a unique opportunity.
TRAILS visitors will also have the opportunity to win a selection of prizes by exploring the exhibition trail.
