Exhibition and selection

Start Art Prize works of art will be exhibited on the Art Gallery of South Australia’s Start Art Prize website.

The Start Art Prize entries will be judged by an AGSA curator. Two winners will be awarded prizes from each age category.

The curator’s decision is final, and no correspondence will be entered into.

Please keep any physical copies of the finished artwork – you may be contacted regarding future AGSA projects.

Here are some top tips for photographing artworks:

Place the artwork on or against a white paper or neutral background.

Photograph it in an area where there is plenty of natural light. Soft, diffused light is better than direct sunlight.

Make sure your artwork is in focus.

Terms and conditions

Entry is open internationally to kids aged up to 13 years.

The artwork submitted must be the original work of the entrant themselves and not infringe the copyright, moral rights or other rights of any third party.

Permission to reproduce the work must be conveyed by the entrant to any purchaser of the work. Where reasonable, the Gallery will attribute the artists as the author of the work and reproduce the work in full.
