With the hindsight of hosting ten international awards in its previous guise, the gallery has made a number of significant changes. These changes are intended to provide better career development opportunities for Australian ceramicists, more strategic collecting for the gallery, and a greater depth to the exhibition and associated publishing.
There will be three recipients of the award, each of whom will receive a significant stipend to produce a body of work for exhibition, on the understanding that the gallery will select one work for its collection. Costs associated with the exhibition will be borne by the gallery, including freight and the production of a fully illustrated catalogue. The gallery will also pay airfares and accommodation for recipient artists to attend the opening event and present at the associated seminar.
There will be six months between the announcement of award recipients and the delivery of works to the gallery.
Recipients will be selected under the following categories;
Australian Artist AUD$25,000 (cash component)
International Artist AUD$25,000 (cash component)
Emerging Australian AUD$5,000 (cash component)
