25.01.2022 The Art Monthly team is back on board, and eagerly awaiting your queries and final entries for this year's Award.

20.01.2022 C'mon all you art-loving, fashion-setting, arts-writing bods...check out this Award for $2000 in prize money, and your words immortalised in the annals of Art Monthly Australia magazine.

15.01.2022 Extensions, extensions ... we might not necessarily like the feel of extensions (on the head) but they do help, particularly as the deadline for entries for the Art Meets Fashion Emerging Arts Writers Award is now 2 May, so you've got more time to polish, ponder and submit! Hop-scotch to it!

13.01.2022 Thanks everyone who submitted an entry for this year's Emerging Arts Writers Award ... the results aren't too far off, hopefully by early next week.

11.01.2022 Congratulations to Melbourne philosophy/history student Alexander McPhee-Browne who took out this year's Emerging Arts Writers' Award. Alexander's winning article is published in AMA's upcoming June issue, a special 250th issue which commemorates art critical writing, to be launched 5 June, 5pm, Electric Shadows Bookshop, Braddon, Canberra

11.01.2022 AMA kindly thanks this year's judges Paulina de Laveaux (Thames & Hudson) and Adam Geczy (Sydney College of the Arts). Paulina's criteria was based on 'Readability', 'Research' and 'Subject'; Adam noted that the difficulty of the subject was not to be underestimated, and he praised Eleanor's winning entry for its 'ambitious outlook'.

09.01.2022 AMA is very pleased to announce the co-judges for this year's Award: Adam Geczy, Senior Lecturer at Sydney College of the Arts, and Paulina de Laveaux, Publishing Manager for Thames & Hudson Australia. We look forward to working with these talented individuals who in turn look forward to a swag of talented entries.

09.01.2022 Danie Mellor, 'An Elysian city (of picturesque landscapes and memory)' , 2010; collection: National Gallery of Australia, Canberra; currently showing in 'unDisclosed', the National Indigenous Art Triennial, and reproduced in Alexander McPhee-Browne's winning article for this year's Emerging Arts Writers' Award, on the theme of the 'art' of art criticism, AMA June 2012, Issue No. 250

08.01.2022 In 2013, Art Monthly forgoes our annual Emerging Arts Writers' Award to produce a whole issue dedicated to the idea of 'emerging'. This issue, our first for the year (March, No. 257), is guest-edited by Dr Adam Geczy, Senior Lecturer in Sculpture, and Graduate and Honours Programs at Sydney College of the Arts. 'Emerging' will feature writing from emerging and established writers and artists to tease out new thinking on the relevance or otherwise of 'emerging' in Australia's visual arts sector. Contributors include: Ted Colless, Mimi Kelly, Alexie Glass, Emily Kantor, Alex Gawronski, Brianna Munting, Oliver Watts, Laura Hindmarsh and Fernando do Campo, among others.

08.01.2022 For her troubles, Eleanor Weber wins $2000 plus publication in AMA's thematic 'Art Meets Fashion' issue in August, which will be launched by New York-based fashion 'guru' Valerie Steele at the Powerhouse Museum Sydney Wednesday 3 August

07.01.2022 Congratulations also to Highly Commended entrants in the 2012 AMA Emerging Arts Writers' Award: Kim Anderson and Steve Sinn. Kim's article, 'Love letter to a critic, from an artist', to be published in a forthcoming issue this year, is a poignant and cheeky appraisal of the current state of play for art criticism in Australia, while Steve's article, 'Speaking From Within the Saying: the art of art criticism' (also to be published later in 2012) adopts Emmanual Levinas's expression in urging a more immersive, open-ended interrelationship between a critic and the art they critique.

06.01.2022 While admiring the wrappers on your Easter chocolates, spare a thought for those putting the last-minute/last-week touches on their Art Monthly Emerging Arts Award entries, due 2 May. They'll probably need an extra dose of chocolate or two!

03.01.2022 Unfortunately, Stella Gray doesn't take home any prize money, but her essay will find publication in AMA this year, possibly also in the 'Art Meets Fashion' August issue. Stella's article brought to life the recent work of Martha McDonald with its intimate, cathartic focus on Victorian-era mourning dress for women.

02.01.2022 Well, the wait is over and the judges verdicts are in. This year's Emerging Arts Writers Award winner is Eleanor Weber with her essay, 'Parallel Lives: Art meets fashion again and again and everywhere'. Runner-up, or Highly Commended, went to Stella Gray for her article 'The Dyeing Dress'. Congratulations to both writers, chosen among a very competitive field of entrants.
