The Women’s Art Prize Tasmania is the state’s only female art competition. Re-launched in 2018, the prize aims to inspire, facilitate and celebrate the development of professional and emerging women artists in Tasmania. This prestigious and exclusive competition consists of three prize categories: a $15,000 acquisitive prize presented by the Trawalla Foundation, the $2500 Bell Bay Aluminium People's Choice award and the $1500 Zonta Emerging artist prize. Originally established in 2002 as Material Girl, The Women’s Art Prize Tasmania promotes awareness of culture, visual arts, women and gender issues across Tasmania. The prize is judged by a panel comprised of recognised arts industry professionals.
