‘The Churchie’ offers an inspiring glimpse into the future of Australian contemporary art and has gained a reputation for talent-spotting emerging artists. This national emerging art prize is highly regarded for its dedication to innovation and excellence across contemporary, traditional and new media genres.
The annual non-acquisitive prize is an initiative of the Anglican Church Grammar School (Churchie), in partnership with Griffith University Art Gallery since 2010. The winner is awarded a $15,000 prize sponsored by Brand+Slater Architects, and two highly commended works are awarded $1,000 each. With hundreds of entries a selected few are chosen to exhibit at Griffith University Art Gallery.
