Applications are now open for the 2025 ANU School of Art & Design Drawing Prize.
Entries close 11pm, Friday 01 August 2025.
The ANU School of Art & Design Drawing Prize showcases and celebrates the breadth and depth of drawing practice within the ANU School of Art & Design. The Prize is an annual event open to all current students enrolled in one or more courses in Semester 2 at the ANU School of Art & Design.
Students are asked to consider the following - Drawing is so much more than pencil on paper. To draw is to make a mark: you may scratch and stick, write and sew, extend and dissolve, be still and perform, provide and take, capture a moment and tell a story, maintain rules and push boundaries. Consider drawing to be an exercise in visualisation, as a process driven practice. What does drawing mean to you?
The Winner is awarded a cash prize of $1,500.
All selected finalists will be exhibited in the ANU School of Art & Design Gallery from 18 August until 12 September, with a public announcement of Winner on Wednesday 20 August 2025.
