The Clunes Ceramic Award is an initiative of
Creative Clunes Inc. and is in partnership with the Art Gallery of
Ballarat and the Castlemaine Art Gallery and Historical Museum.
The winning artist’s work will attract the total prize money of $5,000.
The winning work of art will be acquired in alternate years, by the
Art Gallery of Ballarat and the Castlemaine Art Gallery and Historical
Museum for their Permanent Collections.
In 2013, the work will be acquired by the Castlemaine Art Gallery and Historical Museum.
A People’s Choice Award to the value of $1,500 will be awarded and announced close to the conclusion of the exhibition.
Recognition Awards will be presented at the discretion of the judging panel and announced at the exhibition opening.
The Clunes Ceramic Award is a biennial event and was first held in
2009. The success of the first, and following, Award has ensured that

highly prized Regional Arts Event in the
