About the Wynne Prize:

The Wynne Prize celebrates two major categories of art: Australian landscape painting and figurative sculpture. Diverse representations of our country appear alongside the variety and ingenuity of contemporary sculpture. The Sulman Prize is for subject painting, genre painting or a mural project.

Each year, the trustees of the Art Gallery of New South Wales judge the Wynne Prize.
