The Fremantle Print Award is Australia's longest-running, most prestigious and largest printmaking award, and is awarded by the Fremantle Arts Centre, who also acquire the winning work.[1][2] The award was established in 1976 with the support of Shell Australia. This partnership continued until 2006.
With acquisitive and non-acquisitive awards the prize money totals A$22,000 as of 2021[update], with $16,000 for the first place, and $6,000 for second. The awards were put on hiatus for 2020, due to COVID-19. Beginning in 2022, the awards will be held every two years.
