About your portrait subject
We prefer that the portrait is ‘painted from life’ and that your subject has a sitting for their portrait, like with the Archibald Prize. You may also create the portrait from memory or take your own photograph to use for reference.
For schools
We welcome entries from schools but, due to numbers, we strongly encourage you to first run your own internal competition then submit only your top works (up to 10) into the official Young Archie competition at the Gallery.
Judging
- The competition will be judged by a panel, based on merit and originality.
- Finalists from each category will be exhibited at Bunjil Place and on the Gallery website. One winner will be chosen in each category.
- Each winner will receive prizes provided by ANZ.

- One artwork only per entrant.
