The Doug Moran National Portrait Prize was established by the Moran family in 1988 to celebrate Australia’s Bicentenary. Initially a bi-annual competition, the DMNPP is now held annually, making it an even more significant event on Australia’s arts calendar as well as the richest portrait prize in the world.

The exhibition of finalists held at The State Library of New South Wales generates a vibrant and eclectic collection of 30 portrait paintings depicting the diversity of Australian society.

Entry conditions for the competition stipulate that both the painter and their subject be Australian citizens, but it is not required that the artist’s subjects be in any way well known. The aim of the competition is to encourage and promote contemporary Australian portraiture. Portraits that reveal a strong connection between
the sitter and the artist will be well received by the judges.
