The Basil Sellers Art Prize is a long-term project, with biennial awards.
For contemporary artists today, sport touches upon anything from everyday life through to globalisation, from the concrete experience of a game through to abstract notions like cheating and fair play.
Sport is about winners and losers, individuals and teams, rules and penalties, equipment and architecture, fans and souvenirs, triumphs and scandals.
From 2008 to 2016, the biennial award and exhibition of finalists ran out of the Ian Potter Museum of Art, presenting sculpture, painting, photography and drawing by contemporary Australian artists offering $100,000 for a single outstanding work of art.
In 2018, two additional prizes, sponsored by Eurobodalla Shire Council, were added to the awards.
