A sincere congratulations to Caroline Collom, Eduardo Santos, Emma Itzstein, Greg Penn, Greg Wood and Kathryn Dolby who have all been named as finalists in the Omnia Art Prize 2025 - an annual prize and exhibition celebrating contemporary Australian art and artists.
Established in 1971, this not-for-profit initiative brings together communities and artists across a full weekend of exhibition and events. The Omnia Art Prize includes the $15,000 Major Prize and the $5,000 Small Sculpture Prize, championing artistic excellence at every career stage. In addition, a $1,000 Audrey Culliver People’s Choice Award, honouring the event’s founder, as well as a $500 Student Choice Award, encouraging engagement with the new generation.
This curated collection features over 200 artists and more than 300 original artworks. Spanning a diverse array of mediums—including oils, acrylics, photography, mixed media, and small sculptures — each piece is a reflection of the rich cultural tapestry, experiences, and perspectives that shape contemporary Australia.
The 2025 Omnia Art Prize & Exhibition will be held from May 23-25 at the gallery space of St Kevin’s College in Toorak, Victoria, Australia.
Congratulations and good luck to our Otomys artists!
