The Bloomfield Fine Art Gallery at Terrigal will launch the Central Coast Artist of the Year competition this year.
All artists who are residents of the Central Coast are invited to enter.
Category winners will share in over $12,000 in cash and prizes and compete for the title of Central Coast Artist of the Year 2025.
The new initiative has been established to celebrate and support the vibrant and talented community of Central Coast artists.
The overall winner will receive prize money, representation from Bloomfield Fine Art Gallery, a solo exhibition scheduled for 2026 at the gallery, and a professional media and business support package valued at over $10,000.
Winners in each of the four categories – 2D (painting and drawing), Ceramics, Sculpture and Printmaking – will awarded cash or prizes valued at $500 each.
They will be determined by an independent panel of expert judges from around Australia.
All entrants’ works will be showcased on the gallery pages of the Central Coast Artist of the Year website from the time of submission, culminating in a month-long exhibition of the finalists in May 2025.
Every entrant will receive a generous discount and upgrade voucher for three nights of accommodation for up to six people at the Coast’s premier venue, Star of the Sea, Terrigal.
