Australia's oldest art award. Named after Jules Francois Archibald (nee John Feltham Archibald) (1856 - 1919). An award that has seen controversy throughout the years. It is an annual portrait prize of $100,000. Artists are required to paint the portrait from life and are requested to provide a statement signed by the subject that they had at least one sitting with the artist.
Applicants must have been resident in Australasia for a period of 12 months prior to the closing date.
This is not an acquisitive award.
The Archibald Prize is judged by the gallery trustees.
