Dada Muse is searching for expressive Australian creators with a flair for the surreal to participate in our annual Surrealist Art & Poetry Prize.

All successful applicants will have their works showcased at our Launceston-based gallery for the month of October, and go into the running to win a $1500 Grand Prize.

This year, we are happy to announce the return of the Peoples’ Choice Awards for both ‘Artwork’ and ‘Poetry’ divisions, each boasting a $750 prize determined by public ballot.

As always, prize-winners have the option to keep their piece on permanent public display here at Dada Muse.
