The National Portrait Gallery’s Photographic Portrait Prize is now open for entries.
The National Portrait Gallery is calling for entries for its National Photographic Portrait Prize for 2014. The National Photographic Portrait Prize is an annual event intended to promote contemporary photographic portraiture by Australian professional and aspiring photographers. The gallery offers a $25,000 prize for the most outstanding photographic portrait.
The National Photographic Portrait Prize exhibition is selected from a national field that aims to reflect the distinctive vision of Australia's aspiring and professional portrait photographers and the unique nature of their subjects. This is the seventh year the prize has been awarded. Entrants have until midnight (EST) on November 18 to submit their images. Finalists will be announced in early December and the winner will be awarded in mid-March, 2014.
The exhibition will then be displayed at the National Portrait Gallery from March 21 to June 1, 2014 and will tour to Wagga Wagga Art Gallery from June 22 to August 3, 2014; Cowra Regional Art Gallery from August 16 to October 5, 2014; Wangaratta Art Gallery from October 25 to December 14, 2014 and Devonport Regional Gallery from February 7 to March 22, 2015.
The winner of the 2012 National Portrait Gallery Photographic Portrait prize was image of Yhonnie and Indiana (the cat!) by Janelle Low.
