Martin Kantor Portrait Prize - call for entries

10 September 2020

The call for entries for the 2021 Martin Kantor Portrait Prize is now open to photographers and photo media artists, giving entrants the chance to have their work displayed and viewed at the Ballarat International Foto Biennale, from 28 August to 24 October 2021.

The Ballarat International Foto Biennale Martin Kantor Portrait Prize is both an exhibition and award for a photographic artwork of a significant Australian, and must be a portrait of a living individual distinguished in art, letters, science, sports, or politics.

The acquisitive first prize of $15,000, supported by the Dara Foundation, will be awarded to the work judged to be an exceptional photographic portrait of a significant Australian.
