What are the Awards all about?

 

See Australia first - that's what this Tourism Awards for Public Art program is driving Australians to do, and with Australians returning to international travel, it's now more important than ever to showcase to potential domestic visitors all the wonderful art that they can find in your region or town.

​

Founded in 2018, the Australian Street Art Awards' charter is to "provide Australian communities, including those in remote and regional areas, with a means to be recognised for outdoor art that is being promoted to make their destination and our collective country a more attractive place to visit and explore".

 

This Awards program was our industry’s first and is the largest to recognise excellence and innovation in art tourism.

 

The Awards showcase the ultimate Australian destinations where visitors can see epic, world-class street and public art that’s accessible and enjoyable all year round.

 

The program achieves this by recognising towns, cities, regions and precincts that are using one or more of the many forms of outdoor, publicly-accessible art to promote their destination and engage their community.

 

Winners will provide fellow Australians with the knowledge, impetus and inspiration to #holidayhere and give overseas destinations the flick!

​

IMPORTANT: The artwork/s being entered do NOT NEED TO BE NEW. They can be of any age, created anytime in the past, as long as they are used to help promote your region, town or precinct.
