Little Darlings Youth Portrait Prize

The theme for the Little Darlings Youth Portrait Prize 2024 is ‘My story’. The following questions are prompts to assist with entries, rather than definitive elements that must be addressed:

  • What is your subject’s story about being Australian?
  • How can you tell a person’s story through a portrait?
  • Is your subject’s story rooted in family, community, culture or nation, or something else altogether?

Entries can be submitted from 6 June 2023. For more information see the 2024 entry guidelines and FAQs.

Finalists for the Little Darlings Youth Portrait Prize 2023 have been selected and will be on display at the Gallery from 25 March 2023. Responding to the theme ‘Me and my place’, students painted, drew, photographed, printed or combined all of these to make their portrait. Winners were chosen from each category by a panel of judges including Sandra Bruce Director, Collection and Exhibitions.
