ABOUT THE GLOVER PRIZE
The John Glover Art Prize (Glover Prize) is an award for a landscape painting of Tasmania awarded by The John Glover Society Inc.
Entry is open to local, interstate and international artists. The winner receives $75,000 plus a bronze maquette of colonial artist John Glover (1767– 1849) by Peter Corlett valued at $5,000. All other exhibited entries are eligible for the People’s Choice Award of $3,000, the Children’s Choice Award of $500 and the Hanger’s Choice Award of $500.
Two “Highly Commended” bronze commemorative medallions designed by artist Jennifer Mann will be awarded by the judges. The Glover Prize is acquisitive; the People’s Choice Award is non-acquisitive. The exhibition of finalists’ paintings is held at the Falls Park Pavilion in Evandale, Tasmania.
Tips for Entering

Submit only a high quality photograph of the artwork you are entering. If taking your own photograph, use a tripod and avoid using a flash as this will flatten the work.
