The John Leslie Art Prize is open to all artists living and working in Australia for landscape paintings that have been completed since 1 March 2024. Inaugurated in 2000, the Prize is named after John Leslie OBE (1919-2016), Patron of the Gippsland Art Gallery. The continuation of the Prize is made possible through the generous support of the Gippsland Art Gallery Foundation, and 2026 marks its 14th iteration.
