Applications are now open for artists looking to be part of the third annual Ludlow Art Prize, offering creatives a chance to exhibit their talents.
Ludlow Art Prize, organised by the Ludlow Tuart Forest Reforestation Group, celebrates and honours creativity and artists in two mediums — painting and sculpture — with a focus on Australian landscapes providing a platform for emerging and established artists to gain exposure and win prizes.
Ludlow Art Prize committee chair Jane Croft said within the application guidelines, the artists who preferred paints were allowed to explore and interpret the subject “Australian landscapes” in their own style, while 3D creators had free rein.
“Sculptors have an open theme and will be offered the opportunity to have their art displayed in the grounds of the historic old mill settlement in the heart of the Ludlow tuart forest,” Ms Croft said.
“The committee is pleased with the continuing success of the Ludlow Art Prize and most importantly, its valuable contribution to the charity by raising both funding and awareness for such an important cause.
“The committee considers the art prize an excellent opportunity for artists across Western Australia to share their creative vision of Australian landscapes, while helping shine a light on the critically endangered Ludlow Tuart Forest, the last natural stand of tuart forest in the world.”
With a prize pool of $12,000 up for grabs, the artists are encouraged to apply before the deadline of October 10.
The 2024 sculpture winner was Kim Brown, while Anne Lemanna took out the landscape award.
The exhibition was open to the public between September 28 and October 6. Co-chair Jane Croft said more than 100 people passed through each day.
