In its 10th incredible year
Since its inauguration in 2016 the Midsumma and Australia Post Art Award has quickly established itself as an important award in the ecology of the arts. With finalists selected from across the country, the non-acquisitive annual award is a survey of outstanding queer artists working across mediums reflecting their potent personal and political perspectives on the world.
Submissions for the 2025 Midsumma and Australia Post Art Award are now open, and will close on 31 October 2024.
