Doug Moran National Portrait Prize

[1] The aim of the competition is to promote contemporary Australian portraiture and, as such, entry conditions stipulate that both the artist and their subject be an Australian citizen or resident for at least one year prior to the closing date for entries, however it is not required that the artist or the subject be well known.

Entrants are asked to interpret ‘Contemporary life in Australia’, with an emphasis on Australian's going about their day-to-day lives.

The free workshops are run by professional photographers at schools Australia wide.

Basic photography skills are taught along the theme of ‘Visual Storytelling’ and the student's print their favourite shots of the day.

In 2015 there were 112 digital photography workshops across Australia in urban, rural and remote areas.
