Xmas Day - Portrait Prize

Well then, the image in the previous post was entered a couple of days ago into the 1233 Portrait Prize. Run by the ABC and the Maitland Regional Art Gallery. I've been fortunate enough to have been selected as one of the Ten Finalists.

From here we final ten have been awarded a workshop with SMH Photographer Quentin Jones. Following the workshop we create another portrait image for judging, with the winner receiving a trip for two to the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra. All ten finalist will have their work shown at the Maitland Regional Art Gallery. This is the prize for me.

Congratulations to the other nine finalists.
Below is one of the other images I submitted into the Prize.
