About
The Heysen Prize for Landscape is run by the Hahndorf Academy in the Adelaide Hills and pays homage to Hans Heysen while inviting artists to engage with the protection of the Australian environment. 'Landscape' is interpreted broadly to include natural, rural and urban subjects, and works may be two-dimensional, three-dimensional or moving image.
The prize is $15,000 (acquisitive) with a $1,000 non-acquisitive People's Choice award. The 2026 finalists' exhibition runs 10 October to 6 December 2026 at the Hahndorf Academy, 68 Main Street, Hahndorf.
Entries for 2026 are closed. The prize is biennial; 2028 entry dates have not been published.
