then

Waikato Museum Te Whare Taonga o Waikato from 2007 onward

The National Contemporary Art Award was initiated and administered by the Waikato Society of Arts (WSA). Except the inaugural award, the exhibition has always been held at either Artspost and or Waikato Museum. In 2006, the award had grown to the extent that the WSA decided it would be more feasible for the administration of the award to be continued by Waikato Museum.

Formerly known as Trust Waikato National Contemporary Art Award and Bold Horizon National Contemporary Art Award, the award is now known as the National Contemporary Art Award. Trust Waikato were sponsors until 2009.

2020 was the very first year that the award has ever been cancelled. The cancellation was due to global COVID-19 pandemic lockdown which meant that the award was not able to proceed in time. The 2020 judge was to be Karl Chitham, Director of the Dowse Art Museum, Wellington. Chitham will now be the 2021 art award judge.
