In 2024 the venerable John Leslie Art Prize returns for its thirteenth iteration. One of Australia’s most prestigious prizes for landscape painting, the John Leslie Art Prize consistently attracts the highest calibre of artists from all corners of Australia.

Judges for the 2024 John Leslie Art Prize are award-winning contemporary artists Juan Ford and Sam Leach, the Gallery’s Associate Curator Melanie Caple, and the Gallery’s Coordinator Exhibitions and Collections, Dr Louisa Waters. The winners will add their names to the growing Hall of Fame for the Prize, and cement their place in Gippsland art history.
