Shout out to NSW Artists aged 18-30

EMERGING 2027 IS OPEN FOR SUBMISSIONS

Since 2003, EMERGING has run as a biennial art award to support early-career artists working in non-traditional mediums and installation-based practices.

Entries are open to artists across New South Wales aged 18 to 30. The exhibition of finalists provides an opportunity for the selected artists to develop and exhibit a new or existing body of work at Gosford Regional Gallery.

Opportunities to gain recognition and experience within a professional gallery setting are essential to building a sustainable and fruitful career in the contemporary arts.

Emerging 2027 is the twelfth time the prize and exhibition will be held at Gosford Regional Gallery, and we are pleased to offer the $5,000 prize and continue our commitment to provide opportunities for young artists.

Shortlisted submissions will be exhibited at Gosford Regional Gallery from 13 February to 11 April 2027

Successful applicants will receive a $1000 Artist Fee and may apply for further funds for artwork transport, exhibition development or presentation. One submission will be awarded a $5,000 Emerging Prize, announced at the exhibition opening on Friday 12 February 2027.

Submissions for EMERGING 2027 must be completed by 4pm Monday 26 October, 2026.
