Every two years the National Photography Prize offers an opportunity to consider the vital role of photography in contemporary art in Australia.

The National Photography Prize brings together artists from across Australia who are developing and challenging photographic language and techniques.

Generously supported by the MAMA Art Foundation, the National Photography Prize offers an acquisitive $40,000 Audray Banfield Award, the $5000 John and Margaret Baker Fellowship for an emerging practitioner, and further supports a number of artists through focused acquisitions.

It’s free to enter, and all artists working with photography, including emerging artists, are encouraged to apply.

Applications are open until 20 February 2026
