History of the prize

The Basil Sellers Art Prize was founded in 2004 by businessman, philanthropist and art collector Mr Basil Sellers AM. Through a chance connection to Moruya, Mr Sellers developed a long and fruitful partnership with our Shire that has supported Eurobodalla’s artistic community in a meaningful way.

In 2018, a new award sponsored by Eurobodalla Shire Council was introduced to the art prize. The Eurobodalla Prize of $5,000 honours a local entry into the prize and the work is acquired for the Council’s permanent collection.
