The Bayton Award is restricted to Central Queensland artists residing in the following regions and shires: Rockhampton, Gladstone, Banana, Woorabinda, Central Highlands, Isaac, Barcaldine, Blackall-Tambo, Longreach, Winton, Barcoo, Diamantina and Boulia.


The award has evolved since its inception in 2012 as an initiative of the Rockhampton Art Gallery Trust. It is now a much sought after art competition, with increasing numbers of Central Queensland artists submitting works. With the increase in interest comes an increase in significance of the award and also in the depth of work entered. This time 54 entries were received with 25 selected as finalists.
