Melbounre Art Prize for Urban Sculpture 2026

I’m happy to share that I have been shortlisted for the Melbourne Prize for Urban Sculpture 2026.

This is especially meaningful as it is my second time being shortlisted for the Melbourne Prize for Urban Sculpture, following my first selection as a finalist in 2023.

The Melbourne Prize for Urban Sculpture is one of Australia’s major arts awards, celebrating Victorian sculptors and supporting the development of their artistic practice. The 2026 main prize is valued at $60,000 and is supported by Major Patron, The Vera Moore Foundation.

I’m very grateful to the 2026 judging panel for selecting my work:

Maree Clarke — artist and the 2023 winner
Max Delany — independent curator, writer and consultant
Sophie Oxenbridge — Senior Curator, Contemporary Art, National Gallery of Victoria

Thank you to the judges and the Melbourne Prize Trust for this recognition. It’s wonderful to be part of the Prize again and to be recognised alongside fellow finalists James Geurts, Eliza Hutchison and Isadora Vaughan.

The finalists will be featured at Fed Square from 13–26 November 2026, with the Melbourne Prize for Urban Sculpture and other awards announced on 26 November 2026.
