Art in the Porongurup welcomes artists of all backgrounds, established and emerging alike. Anyone can enter Art in the Porongurup 2026—as long as you can meet the terms & conditions on the entry form, deliver your sculpture on time, and handle your own setup and pack-down. There are no restrictions on media; your work simply needs to withstand the elements and be environmentally safe, whether it’s made from recycled materials, steel, wood, plastic, ceramic, brick, or any combination you choose. The theme is completely open to encourage creativity and diversity, and artists may submit up to three entries. Sculptures must be three-dimensional in some form to qualify, and all participants are encouraged to carefully review the full terms & conditions on the entry form before submitting their work.
Exciting prizes will be awarded! Prize amounts for each category and additional awards will be finalised as more sponsors come on board – and we’re already at $7,000…and counting!
