The Fisher’s Ghost Art Award is an annual art award and exhibition inviting artists to submit works in a variety of artistic categories and mediums. Now in its 62nd year, there is over AUD60,000 in prize money to be won across the categories. In 2024, the celebrated Open Award, which is acquisitive to the Campbelltown City Council Art Collection, is valued at AUD50,000.
