From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cornell Prize, officially F. Cornell Art Prize, was a major contemporary art prize offered in South Australia from 1951 until 1965.

The inaugural prize was presented at an exhibition by the Contemporary Art Society of South Australia from 1951 to 1965. In that year, the judges were R. G. Campbell, Kym Bonython, Max Harris, Joseph Choate, and Dorrit Black.[1]
