Tasmanian awards
and prizes
The MONA Scholarship
Every year Mona offers a $12,500 bursary to an emerging Tasmanian artist. The winning
artist uses the money to buy materials and equipment to make their art. After 12
months, the artist holds an exhibition and Mona can select one piece from the exhibition
for their permanent collection. The remainder of the exhibition can be sold to the
public, if the artist wishes, with all money going to the artist.
