The Hervey Bay Boat Club is proud to announce our continued sponsorship of the prestigious Girra: Fraser Coast National Art Prize for 2025.
This biennial event, hosted at the Hervey Bay Regional Gallery from 23 August to 16 November 2025, showcases the best in contemporary Australian art. As in previous years, we are delighted to sponsor the People's Choice Award, offering a $2,000 prize to the artist whose work resonates most with visitors and online followers.
This award gives our community a voice in recognizing exceptional artistic talent.
In 2023, the Hervey Bay Boat Club People's Choice Award winner was Joolie Gibbs, whose captivating work won the hearts of gallery visitors and online audiences alike.
We look forward to seeing which artist will capture the public's imagination in 2025.
The Girra: Fraser Coast National Art Prize is more than just an art competition; it's a celebration of our region's rich cultural heritage and natural beauty. The prize invites artists from across Australia to explore the intricate relationships between people, place, and the environment through various visual art mediums.
Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting event.
We encourage all art enthusiasts to visit the Hervey Bay Regional Gallery during the exhibition to view the finalists' works and cast their vote for the People's Choice Award.
