Presented by Hadley's Orient Hotel, the Hadley's Art Prize, Hobart is an acquisitive Australian landscape prize, which offers $100,000 to the winning entry.

Hadley's Orient Hotel has a long history with art starting with art-loving landlords in the late 1800s. The Hadley's Art Prize contributes to the art community, celebrates excellence in contemporary landscape art, promotes cultural tourism in Tasmania, and restores art to the historic walls of Hadley's Orient Hotel through a landscape prize similar to the competition won by Howard Hadley in 1895.

Judged by a panel of art specialists, the prize is open to Australian artists over the age of eighteen working in two-dimensional media. Artists at all career stages are invited to enter.
