The Redland Art Awards is a Biennial event. The next competition is due to be held during 2010.

The Redland Art Awards is a contemporary painting competition featuring three prizes including the non-acquisitive first prize of $10,000 for the overall winner. The Redland Art Awards are open to all Australian artists.

First held in 1981, the Redland Art Awards has become an important event in the art community's calendar and seeks to attract hundreds of entries from artists throughout the nation. Over the years the Redland City Council has assisted the Society in presenting the Redland Art Awards. During 2008 the support continued, first, with financial assistance to help organizers cover the costs involved in preparing and running the event and second, by providing the space and facility of the Redland Art Gallery to exhibit the artworks. This generous support meant that all funds raised through sponsorship could be directed to prizes for winning artists.
