BigCi Environmental Awards 2024

International and Australian artists from various fields – visual art, installation, multimedia, performance, literature, music, photography, film making, curating – are invited to submit entries for the BigCi Environmental Awards 2024.

The winning artists will have an opportunity to explore the Wollemi, the Blue Mountains and the Gardens of Stone National Parks on guided walks and will be given research assistance relevant to their projects. At the end of their residencies, they will present their work at a BigCi Open Day event.

Submissions must show how the applicant will respond to the environmental issues of the day using their chosen medium. Relevance to the location on the edge of the Wollemi National Park in the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Greater Blue Mountains is essential.

The focus of the Award is on the environment. BigCi are looking for inspirational projects that will be executed within the residency time frame. Applicants can choose to deal with relevant environmental or natural science issues, explore ideas and concepts related to nature, or use this opportunity to creatively respond to the unique wilderness and the current challenges it faces.

Two Winners of the Awards will each receive 4 free weeks of BigCi residency and 4,000 AUD prize money.
