Enter the inaugural Sculptures@Scratchley

This year welcomes a new international sculpture prize for Newcastle in the Hunter region of New South Wales. The grounds of an 1880s military fort at the entrance to Newcastle Harbour will host the inaugural Sculptures@Scratchley prize, worth $40,000.

Sculptures@Scratchley has been developed by local sculptor Grahame Wilson in partnership with Newcastle Museum, and Fort Scratchley Historical Society which runs the former coastal defence installation, now a museum. The Prize’s Major Award will be decided by the public, with the non-acquisitive People’s Choice award set at $25,000. The Prize’s Peer-judged Award, also non-acquisitive, is $15,000.
