Entries are now open for the Burwood Art Prize 2025, with submissions closing on Friday, 14 March 2025 at 5:00pm AEST. This year’s competition invites artists from across Sydney to engage with a thought-provoking theme: I AM HERE – Celebrating Cultural Narratives and Perspectives.
The Burwood Art Prize offers a unique opportunity for artists to explore the significance of cultural identity and community through their work. The 2025 theme, I AM HERE, encourages participants to reflect on and express the importance of diverse cultural stories in shaping both personal and collective identities in contemporary Australia.
Through this theme, the Burwood Art Prize aims to celebrate the many voices that contribute to our multicultural society. Artists are invited to delve into personal and shared experiences, using their art to foster a deeper understanding of culture, belonging, and community. I AM HERE is a call to explore how art can spark meaningful conversations, celebrate difference, and inspire joy.
This open call for entries seeks works that embrace the richness of cultural narratives and offer new perspectives on community identity. Whether through painting, sculpture, photography, or other artistic forms, artists are encouraged to create pieces that reflect the vibrancy and diversity of Sydney’s multicultural landscape.
The Burwood Art Prize is not only a celebration of art but also an opportunity for artists to showcase their work to a wide audience, contributing to the ongoing dialogue about cultural diversity in Australia. By participating, artists become part of a collective movement that brings cultural expression to the forefront of public consciousness.
