The $10,000 prize celebrates the role of artists in enhancing Tasmanian communities.
Finalists will have smaller scale pieces of their work on display at Bridstowe Lavender Estate between May and June next year.
Bakhap Award committee chair Jan Jarratt encouraged experienced and budding sculptors to jump on board for an opportunity to win $10,000.
Finalists could have their work viewed by some of the 70,000 annual visitors to the estate, Jarratt said.
“The Bridestowe Estate, with its beautiful gardens and idyllic location, provides the perfect backdrop to showcase sculptural pieces in an outdoor setting.
“We are delighted that owner Robert Ravens is working with us to provide such an amazing incentive for artists to create and submit their work.”
The award was launched by Tasmanian Treasurer Peter Gutwein earlier in the week.
The prize winner will be officially announced by the James Scott Decorative Arts Society on May 10.
Entries will close on March 1 next year.
Further details about the award, key dates, entry forms and the judging panel can be found at the James Scott Decorative Arts Society website www.jsdas.org.au/bakhap
The award was named after former member for Bass and Senator Thomas Bakhap.
