It is no surprise that prizes in WA have a smaller pool of entrants, simply because of the cost of trasporting works from east to west, or a speciality media like photography having a number of similar artists selected for their finalist exhibition. The Mosman Art Prize is quite establishment and this year it is reflected in the shared finalists with the Sulman and the Archibald. The major photography prizes sharing a number of finalists is interesting
And with the Omnia Art Prize, it had over 200 finalists so there's no surprise it shares a number of finalists with other prizes as well.
So here is a list of (the top) 15 prizes with the most shared artists.
