Held every two years since 2001, the Hazelhurst Art on Paper Award is a significant national exhibition that aims to elevate the status of works on paper while supporting and promoting artists working with this medium. Awards include the $15,000 major award and the $5,000 Young & Early Career Artist Award, both sponsored by Tradies, and the $5,000 Friends of Hazelhurst Local Artist Award. A four week residency is also awarded to an artist by Hazelhurst's exhibition preparators. The $1,000 People's Choice Award is awarded at the close of the exhibition. The 2019 Awards were judged by Artist Idris Murphy, Artist Joan Ross, and Dr Oliver Watts, Artist and Head Curator of Artbank. The judges chose the winning works from 86 finalists. Exhibition at Hazelhurst Arts Centre, Gymea NSW. Exhibition dates 21 September - 17 November 2019.
