The awards recognise outstanding and sustained contributions by Australian artists in all areas of practice – music, literature, community arts and cultural development (CACD), emerging and experimental arts (EEA), visual arts, theatre, dance or a combination of any of these areas. The Australia Council encourages nominations of d/Deaf and disabled artists with lived experience reflecting the richness and diversity of Australian culture, including First Nations artists, artists from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, and artists living in regional and remote locations.
