In October or
November of each year the Society holds the annual Art and Craft
Awards which originated with the Craft Awards in the York Fair in
1973. When the Fair ceased in 1984, the Craft Awards continued and
in 1989 Art was included.
The Awards hold an important place in the Western Australian Art &
Craft scene and now attract around 500 entries each year from some
180 artists and craftspersons.
Entrants must be
residents of Western Australia. Prize money, donated by the
community, totals $9250.
A new Award of $1000, was first included in 2001. In 2010 two such
Awards, one in the Art section and one in the Craft section, will be
made for the best entries in any category depicting 'Recycling'.
