Stencil Art Prize – Entries Now Open

Entries for the 2017 Stencil Art Prize are now open.
Guatemalan artist Tinku won the 2016 Stencil Art Prize with his haunting
stencil painting ‘Tributo’ which pays homage to the indigenous women of Guatemala.

The Stencil Art Prize is the only large scale prize in the world that exists to recognise and reward stencil artists. The Prize originally began as the Australian Stencil Art Prize which ran as an Australian only prize from 2009 – 2012. In 2013, in response to mounting interest from international stencil artists, the organisers of the Australian Stencil Art Prize restructured and relaunched the art prize as the ‘Stencil Art Prize’.

RONE TO JUDGE 2017 PRIZE

Beginning his artist career as a stencil artist in the early 2000’s in Melbourne, Australia, before expanding into other styles of painting – Rone is one of Australia’s most prolific muralists and street artists. Previous judges of the Stencil Art Prize have included Ha Ha, Vexta, Phibs and E.L.K to name a few. Check out Rone here.

The Stencil Art Prize is an acquisitive art prize, which means that the winning artwork is kept by the Stencil Art Prize.

2017 FINALIST PRINTS FOR SALE
