BigCi, an independent, artist run, not for profit artist residency programme in Bilpin, Australia (near Sydney), is calling for applications for the 2025 BigCi Environmental Awards. 

Australian and international artists from various fields – visual art, installation, multimedia, performance, literature, music, photography, film making, curating – are invited to submit entries for the Awards.

Two winners of the Awards will each receive 4 free weeks at the BigCi residency and 5,000 AUD prize money.

The winning artists will have an opportunity to explore the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Wollemi, Blue Mountains and Gardens of Stone National Parks on guided walks and will be given research assistance relevant to their projects. At the end of their residencies, they will present their work at a BigCi Open Day event.
