The Cossack Art Awards are proudly presented by the City of Karratha with Principal Partner Rio Tinto.

Entries to the 2027 Awards are expected to open in March 2027. From humble beginnings in Western Australia’s resources heartland, the Cossack Art Awards have grown in size and stature over the years to become the richest acquisitive art award in regional Australia. The awards continue to grow both within the region as the highlight of the cultural calendar but also across Australia as a nationally significant art prize that attracts a high caliber of participation industry-wide. Set amid the historic buildings of a heritage listed ghost town, the Cossack Art Awards attracts thousand of people every year to the small town of Cossack, some 1,600 kilometres north of Perth. For three weeks in July and August Cossack comes alive with hundreds of vibrant artworks representing the very best artistic talent across the Pilbara region and Australia

A huge congratulations to our Realmark People's Choice winner Melissa Loan for her piece The Slow Reveal, and to all of our Cossack Children's Art Awards Winners and Highly Commended artists!

Serafina Amayah Tawse took out the Children's overall prize with her piece At Last, described by the judges as demonstrating a level of ability and skill beyond their years.

“The obvious talent of this artist made this piece difficult to overlook. It is visually outstanding, with a compelling story that draws the viewer in,” the judges said.

Meanwhile, Ruby Chester was named the 5-8 year's winner, Scarlotte Moore won the 9-11 years category, and in the 12-15 years category, Arabella Azhar was named the winner.
