Central Coast Artist of the Year

The inaugural ‘Central Coast Artist of the Year’ has been implemented to celebrate & support our large & talented community of Central Coast Artists.

Open only to Central Coast NSW residents, the overall winner will be awarded prize money, representation with Bloomfield Fine Art Gallery, a solo exhibition in 2026 at the Bloomfield Fine Art Gallery (with mentoring as required), a professional media and business support package worth in excess of $10K, as well as earning the title of ‘Central Coast Artist of the Year 2025’. This year’s generous Sponsors have also ensured that the winners of each of the 4 Categories will receive cash and prizes valued at $500 each.

All Entrants work will be showcased in the GALLERY pages of this website from the time of their submission for the duration of the 2025 event culminating in a month-long exhibition of the Finalists in May 2025 at the Bloomfield Fine Art Gallery.

It is intended that this will highlight the extraordinary and multi-facetted talent residing on the Central Coast of NSW.

Each and every Entrant will also receive a generous discount Voucher for a 3-night weekend escape (for up to 6 people) including parking, free upgrades, all resort facilities and much more at Terrigal’s 5-Star accommodation, Star of the Sea.
