Neil Haddon: Finalist – Glover Prize 2026

Congratulations to Neil Haddon who has been selected as a finalist in the 2026 Glover Prize!

The John Glover Acquisitive Prize
Celebrating the legacy of John Glover, The John Glover Art Prize (Glover Prize) has become one of Australia’s most significant awards for landscape painting, open to artists from anywhere in the world.

It is awarded annually by The John Glover Society Inc. for the work judged the best contemporary landscape painting of Tasmania.
Landscape painting is defined in its broadest sense. The aim is to stimulate conversations about the meaning and possibilities expressed in the words landscape, painting and Tasmania.

The winner receives $80,000 plus a bronze maquette of colonial artist John Glover, designed by Peter Corlett and valued at $5,000.
The Glover Prize is acquisitive, selected from 42 works chosen by a panel of eminent judges. All other exhibited entries are eligible for the (non-acquisitive) People’s Choice Award of $3,000, the Children’s Choice Award of $500 and the Hangers’ Choice Award of $500.
The exhibition of finalists’ paintings is held over the March long-weekend in the historic Falls Park Pavilion in Evandale, a village on the beautiful northern plains of Tasmania.
