A panel of judges will view submissions and select works to be installed in the Fiona and Sidney Myer Gallery. In light of COVID-19 and social distancing measures, the 2022 Majlis Scholarship Exhibition may not be open to the public. The work will be judged in situ, with the winner of the 2022 Majlis Travelling Scholarship announced at a date to be advised. Shortlisted artists will have the opportunity to install their work in the highly professional environment of the Fiona and Sidney Myer Gallery. The Gallery will provide artists with professional photo documentation of their works.
The successful applicants will receive additional information regarding installation and the exhibition itself after shortlisting is complete (by the end of July). The works included in the application must be available for exhibition. All works to be installed will be determined in discussion with gallery staff.
