‘No other art prize in this country comes close to challenging its position as a genuinely national event, and no other art prize has managed not only to survive, but to flourish with such implausible flamboyance in nearly ninety years.’
Edmund Capon AM OBE, Director, Art Gallery of NSW
The Archibald Prize is one of Australia’s oldest and most prestigious art awards. JF Archibald’s primary aims were to foster portraiture, support artists and perpetuate the memory of great Australians. Since its inception in 1921 the prize has been awarded to some of Australia’s most important artists, including George Lambert, William Dobell and Brett Whiteley.
The Wynne Prize is awarded to the best landscape painting of Australian scenery in oils or watercolours, or for the best example of figure sculpture, by an Australian artist.
The Sir John Sulman Prize is awarded for the best subject painting or genre painting or mural project by an Australian artist.
