Since its inception in 1998, the Biennale has grown to become a national visual arts festival which provides, as the cornerstone of the event, Australia's richest prize for landscape painting, the Fleurieu Art Prize, offering $50,000 to the winning artist.

It seems appropriate that the most significant prize for landscape art in Australia be centered in the Fleurieu Peninsula, a region which, with its striking vistas and extraordinary geological formations, has long been both a home and a source of inspiration for some of Australia's most important landscape artists.
