Mandorla Art Award

The Mandorla Art Award is an Australian religious art prize, where the artists are given a theme inspired by the Christian scriptures akin to the historic requests by the church to create visual images that tell the stories of the Bible.[1]

The award commenced in 1985 with finalists work exhibited at New Norcia Monastery Museum and Art Gallery, St John of God Hospitals in Perth, Western Australia.[2][3]
