2018 Napier Waller Art Prize

The 2018 Napier Waller Art Prize was open to all current and former service personnel in the Australian Defence Force. For more information on the Napier Waller Art Prize, click here.

2018 was the inaugural year of the prize. A shortlist of 35 finalist works from over 100  entries selected by a panel of art professionals from the Australian War Memorial were displayed online. All shortlisted artists were eligible for the People’s Choice Award, a cash prize of $5,000, which was awarded to Ian Cook for his work Mates, for life (2018).

Twelve artworks were selected from the finalist shortlist and awarded Highly Commended. The Highly Commended works were exhibited at the Memorial from 20 September to 25 November 2018, from which the winner, Green on blue: the betrayal of trust by Rob Douma was selected.
