The Prize Season is upon us!
The Darling Portrait Prize is a national prize for Australian portrait painting honouring the legacy of Mr L Gordon Darling AC CMG, who was instrumental in establishing the National Portrait Gallery of Australia. This year, the judges selected 39 finalists from a field of hundreds.
Annual crowd favourite, the National Photographic Portrait Prize, reflects the distinctive vision of Australia's aspiring and professional portrait photographers, and the unique nature of their subjects. In 2022, the judges had such a difficult time narrowing down the entries to just 50.
The Prizes are now open, with the bonus inaugural Little Darlings Youth Portrait Prize also on show. With one ticket, you can see all three!
