The Newcastely ARt Gallery is undergoing capital works and won't be completed until late 2024. The prize is apparently not being scheduled for 2024.
Since 2006, the Kilgour Prize has encouraged innovation within portrait and figurative painting. In 2020, the prize is now in its tenth year.
The KILGOUR PRIZE 2021 is awarding $50,000 for the most outstanding work of art, and a People’s Choice of $5,000 to the painting voted most popular by the general public. Every year the Gallery receives hundreds of applications from artists across every state and territory of Australia. Applications are submitted online using a high quality jpeg of the work.
The name of the artist is not revealed to the judges during the selection process for the finalists for exhibition, or for the winner of the prize - making the Kilgour Prize an equitable prize for artists at all career stages.
Jack Noel Kilgour (1900–1987) was an Australian artist well-known for his academic approach to landscape and portrait painting. In 1987 Kilgour bequeathed funds for the creation of a major figurative and portrait art competition to be run in perpetuity at Newcastle Art Gallery. As one of Australia’s major art prizes, The Kilgour Prize continues a long history of benefaction to the Gallery.
