Currently with an annual first prize of $150,000, the Prize is an important part of Australia’s Arts calendar. The Prize is acquisitive and the winning portrait immediately becomes the property of the Moran Arts Foundation. This years Judges were Doug Hall AM and artist Anne Wallace. This is Steve’s seventh portrait selection in the award.
