It returns for 2026! ( Almost a year has gone by, believe it or not. )
Applications of Entry are LIVE - starting now until September 13th. You can find all the usual details + tickets over at our Shop.
The walls are hungry. We're looking for Australian creatives to express the innermost muddlings of their psychic seas; with paint, text, or any combination of media that can be reasonably framed: show us what 'surreal' means to you, in that way only you can.
Our previous contest winners are still up on display, if you fancy a quick squizz in person; plenty of other examples around the gallery to get y'all thinking, too ( or not thinking, which is sometimes the best way to start on something. )
If you have any other questions about what to do, or not to do, we're always available via email: info@dadamuse.com.au
Below are our podium finishers for the 2025 season:
"I Gave You My Heart But You Couldn't Handle It." ( Cynthia Hawkins - Surrealist Prize )
"The Chess Room: Where Games are Rarely Won" ( Fereleth Lee - Peoples' Choice Artwork )
