The Wyndham Art Gallery established the Wyndham Art Prize in 2015, which has become one of the largest art prizes in the country based on the number of artists shortlisted for exhibition. The shortlisting is done by gallery curators and independent curators and art professionals judge the final selection. Entries are shortlisted on their own merits, resulting in an exhibition of scale and diversity. The exhibition showcases both emerging and established artists from all backgrounds and accepts artworks in any form including sculpture, painting, drawing, printmaking, textiles, photography, installation, digital sound and video
