Finalists from Northern Tasmania include Eleanor Austin, Richard Dunlop, and Keith Lane.

Four time-Glover finalist Richard Dunlop said it was "a feather in the cap" to be recognised through the prize, which he called the Archibald Prize of the landscape world.

His painting, Fly Fisher, Meander Valley, Near Deloraine, is an effort to promote his home.

"It seems to be me that a suitable landscape entry for the Glover would focus on something that's not so conspicuous as, say, Cradle Mountain," he said.

"The Great Western Tiers, sitting behind Deloraine, unfold almost like sharks teeth - one valley into the next and the next and the next. So it's about the experience of an individual in a vast, infinite landscape."

A record 563 entries were submitted to this year's Glover Prize, with the finalists to be exhibited at the Falls Parks Pavilion, Evandale, from Friday, March 6, to Sunday, March 16.

The winner will be selected by Queensland Art Gallery and Museum of Modern Art director Chris Saines, Sydney artist Fiona Lowry, and Mona senior curator Jarrod Rawlins.
