Since its inception in 2001, the Hazelhurst Art on Paper Award has become a significant national award dedicated to celebrating and elevating the significance of work on paper. The Hazelhurst Art on Paper Award promotes excellence and innovation in the field of art on paper while supporting and encouraging artists who specialise in this medium.
With a total prize pool of AUD26,000, the Award recognises outstanding artworks created with, on, or about paper and provides a platform for recognition and an opportunity for artists to explore the materiality, versatility, and potential of paper as a medium for artistic expression. Artforms can include, but are not limited to, painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, photography, mixed media and video.
In 2025, Hazelhurst received 1055 entries from artists from across Australia, and from these, a selection panel chose 61 finalists. This year's finalists represent the breadth and depth of contemporary practice with, on, or about paper, across drawing, painting, photography, installation, video and more.
Winners will be announced on Friday, 26 September.
