There are only a handful of art prizes in Australia that tip into six-figure winnings – and only one of them is for the landscape genre.
While it is the $50,000 Wynne Prize that captures the lion’s share of headlines, alongside its sister exhibition the Archibald Prize presented annually by the Art Gallery of NSW, the greater giant in celebrating the genre is a hotel in Hobart.
