The
Finalists
Our biggest year yet. These are the 65 finalists of the Noosa Art Prize 2026, by artists from across Australia, and a reflection of how much the prize has grown. Painting, photography, ceramics, sculpture, textiles and more, each chosen for what it has to say and how well it says it.
The winners were announced at the opening soirée at The J on Thursday 8 October. Gabrielle Jones won the $12,000 Noosa Acquisitive Art Prize with Gatekeeper. Julie Field took the Ceramics Prize, Kelli-Jean Black the Photography Prize and Ruben Fitton the Portrait Prize. The People's Choice Award, decided by public vote online and at the exhibition, went to Edwina Hoey for Bad Mom.
The exhibition ran at The J, Noosa Junction, from 9 to 29 October. Most works remain for sale here.
