This is a biennial art prize held every even year.

The Heysen Prize for Landscape invites artists to express their deep connection with – or concern for – protecting the Australian environment and to pay homage to Hans Heysen as an artist and environmentalist.

Heysen Prize for Landscape is a contemporary art prize established in 1997 to commemorate the life and work of the internationally renowned, artist, Sir Hans Heysen (1877-1968). It is a biennial event celebrating emerging, mid-career and established artists and their connection to landscape and place.

The word 'landscape' includes all possible aspects of the natural, rural, and urban landscape. This year, Hahndorf Academy’s Heysen Prize for Landscape has a focus on the environment and climate concerns. In an era of rapid climate change, battling fire and flood, drought and destruction, Australia has one of the highest loss of plant and animal species in the world.
