The Archibald Prize has always created controversy and conversation. For over a century, artists from Australia and New Zealand have captured the spirit of their times through portraiture, reflecting the personalities and issues that define their communites.
The Wynne Prize for landscape painting of Australian scenery, or figure sculpture, celebrates the diversity of representations of our country, and the Sulman Prize is for subject painting, genre painting or a mural project.
Each year, the trustees of the Art Gallery of New South Wales judge the Archibald and Wynne and invite an artist to judge the Sulman. In 2025 the Sulman will be judged by renowned artist Elizabeth Pulie.
These ‘must-see’ annual exhibitions of finalists and winners have become fixtures in our artistic calendar. A single ticket gives you access to see all three of these prestigious awards.
Have your say by voting for your favourite portrait in the ANZ People’s Choice award before entries close, and see art by our next generation of artists aged 5–18 in the Young Archies. For families, join our fun, self-guided children’s trails.
