Henry Jones Art Prize 2026 Submissions Entries are Open
The Henry Jones Art Prize returns in 2026, continuing The Henry Jones Art Hotel’s commitment to nurturing and celebrating Tasmania’s contemporary artists. More than an art prize, it is a platform for early career artists to share their work, gain recognition and connect with audiences, collectors and the wider arts community.
Open to Tasmanian early career artists, the prize welcomes those at the beginning of their artistic journey, including recent graduates, current students, and artists making a career transition where art has become a priority. Submissions for the 2026 Henry Jones Art Prize open on 3 August and close on 27 September 2026.
Finalists will be showcased throughout The Henry Jones Art Hotel, with winners announced at the annual Gala celebration. With a prize pool of over $40,000 across the Painting and Mixed Media categories, alongside the People’s Choice and Packing Room Prizes, the Henry Jones Art Prize provides a valuable opportunity to support, recognise and champion the future of Tasmanian art.
