Noosa Youth Art Prize 2026
The youth winner
Thirteen works by young artists from across Australia, all under 25 and still studying, and one winner. Find out who took out this year's youth prize.
Every youth finalist is online, and the artist keeps the full sale price. The gallery takes no commission on youth works.
Our Biggest Year Yet
This is the biggest Noosa Art Prize yet, a reflection of how much the prize has grown. This year we added extra prizes alongside the $12,000 Noosa Acquisitive Art Prize, and the soirée and exhibition were bigger and better than ever.
The winners were announced at the opening soirée at The J, Noosa, on Thursday 8 October, and the finalists are exhibited together until 29 October.
Every finalist is listed here on The Non Gallery for the length of the exhibition, so you can see the work, get to know the artist and buy directly. People's Choice voting is open now. Use the vote button on any finalist's page, or scan the code on a label at the show.
