Cornell Prize

The Cornell Prize, officially F. Cornell Art Prize, was a major contemporary art prize offered in South Australia from 1951 until 1965.

History

The inaugural prize was presented at an exhibition by the Contemporary Art Society of South Australia from 1951 to 1965. In that year, the judges were R. G. Campbell, Kym Bonython, Max Harris, Joseph Choate, and Dorrit Black.
The prize was administered by the Cornell family. Several of the prize-winning paintings were subsequently acquired by the Art Gallery of South Australia.
