On the night, we reveal which finalists will take home the coveted $50,000 Richard Lester Prize for Portraiture, the $10,000 Tony Fini Foundation Artist Prize and the Highly Commended Prizes.
The Lester Prize is one of the country’s richest prizes for portraiture. Forty finalists from across Australia have been selected from over 400 entrants for this year's The Lester Prize. Amongst this year's finalists, 15 were WA artists, 10 were from VIC, 9 from NSW, with the remaining 6 from QLD, TAS and the ACT. Subjects of the works range from self-portraits to people who have played a significant part in the artists' lives. A quarter of this year's finalists have been named as finalists in previous years of the competition.
