Gosford Art Prize was the first major art prize to be held in Gosford and continues to be the most popular art prize on the Central Coast.The Gosford Shire Art Prize began in 1970 as a feature of the first ‘Venetian Carnival’, an arts and tourism event which would become known as the annual ‘Festival of the Waters’ held between 1970 to 1986. In 2000 the Gosford Art Prize shifted house to the Gosford Regional Gallery, operated by the staff of the Gosford City Council and the Central Coast Council (following Council amalgamation in 2016). The Gosford Art Prize has been a fixture of the annual program of the Gallery ever since. Over the last 20 years it has rapidly expanded with an increasing number of entries and prize money. From the 48 paintings originally entered in 1970 the Prize now attracts well over 500 entries each year from around Australia. Sally is proud to announce “Goodspanner”, 120x150cm, has been selected as a FINALIST in 2025 from a record number of entries (1082).
