The Bald Archy Prize is Australia’s most irreverent portrait award, celebrating wit, satire and the lighter side of portraiture. With a $10,000 acquisitive first prize and a $2,000 People’s Choice Award on offer, each year artists of all styles and standards are invited to submit comic or satirical portraits of a distinguished Australian that embrace humour, parody and caricature.
Now administered by the Museum of the Riverina in Wagga Wagga, The Bald Archy Prize brings accessible, entertaining and thought-provoking art to regional communities. Following an annual launch at the Canberra Potters Watson Arts Centre, the exhibition tours extensively throughout regional New South Wales and Victoria before completing its journey at the Museum of the Riverina’s Historic Council Chambers site.
Entries must be delivered on the following days: January 19–22 and January 27–29, 2027.
