The Doug Moran National Portrait Prize was established by the Moran family in 1988 to celebrate Australia's Bicentenary. Initially a bi-annual competition, the DMNPP is now held annually, making it an even more significant event on Australia's arts calendar as well as the richest portrait prize in the world. The thirty finalists are exhibited in the finalists' exhibition at Juniper Hall, Paddington, NSW.

All entries will be viewed on-screen by the judges and at least 100 portraits selected as Semi-finalists to come to the final judging venue.
