We invite all Junior School artists to submit a portrait for this year’s Portrait Prize. The theme for this year is ‘My Story’.

The following questions are prompts to assist with gathering ideas for your portrait:

• How can you tell a person’s story through a portrait?
• What is your subject’s story about being Australian?
• Is your subject’s story rooted in family, community, culture or nation, or something else altogether?

Entry Guidelines

• Open to all Junior School students – Pre-Kindergarten to Year 6
• The portrait must be of a person who is special to you – someone who is known to you, who knows you and plays a significant role in your life

• Entries should be created on quality A3 or A4 paper. You are welcome to request paper from the Art Studio
