An annual event, the National Youth Self Portrait Prize seeks to encourage young people to embrace self portraiture and its expressive possibilities.
A selection of entries, including the prize-winning work, will be displayed at the National Portrait Gallery and as an online exhibition from 22 July – 12 September 2010.
With the generous support of the Tallis Foundation and the Association of Australian Decorative and Fine Arts Societies (ADFAS), the National Portrait Gallery is offering a prize of $10,000 for the most outstanding self-portrait produced in the year preceding the prize.
A panel of three judges will make a selection from all entries to determine a shortlist of works for exhibition. The prize-winning self-portrait will be selected from the exhibited works.
The finalists for this year's National Youth Self Portrait Prize are: Erwin Strobel NSW; Jessie Victoria Bonson NT, Bridget Mac NSW, Daniel Kim NSW, Tom Cramond WA, Robbie Karmel ACT, Todd Fuller NSW, Joel Arthur ACT, Ashleigh Garwood NSW, Reges Lobud ACT, Daniel Kim NSW, James Barnett VIC, Emilio Cresciani NSW, Sarah Catherine Firth VIC and Kim Buck SA.
