The Archibald Prize, first awarded in 1921, is Australia’s favourite art award, and one of its most prestigious. Awarded to the best portrait painting of the year, it’s a ‘Who’s Who’ of Australian contemporary culture – from politicians to fashion designers, sporting heroes to artists. For almost a century, the Archibald Prize has been thrilling art enthusiasts, often stirring up controversy, and always challenging the way people see themselves and their society.
