ARCHIBALD , WYNNE, AND SULMAN PRIZES FOR ART FOR 2016 IN AUSTRALIA
The Archibald, Wynne and Sulman Prizes is an annual exhibition eagerly anticipated by artists and audiences alike.
The Archibald Prize, first awarded in 1921, is Australia’s favorite art award, and one of its most prestigious. Awarded to the best portrait painting, it’s a who’s who of Australian culture – from politicians to celebrities, sporting heroes to artists.
The Wynne Prize is awarded to the best landscape painting of Australian scenery, or figure sculpture, while the Sulman Prize is given to the best subject painting, genre painting or mural project in oil, acrylic, watercolour or mixed media.
Each year, the trustees of the Art Gallery of NSW judge the Archibald and Wynne, and invite an artist to judge the Sulman. The 2016 judge is Judy Watson.
HERE ARE SOME PHOTOS OF THE WINNERS AND FINALISTS:

THE PACKING ROOM PRIZE
In 1991 the Packing Room Prize was established, in which the staff who receive the portraits and install them in the gallery vote for their choice of winner. Although the prize is said to be awarded by the staff, the gallery’s head storeman – as of 2011, Steve Peters – holds 51% of the vote.The Packing Room Prize is awarded annually and as of June 2014, the prize is A$1,500.
