Congratulations to all the entrants and the winners!

The Bundanoon Community Association, in collaboration with its subcommittee Arts Bundanoon, is proud to present the first-ever Bundanoon Portrait Prize and Exhibition — a vibrant new celebration of portraiture and the people of the Southern Highlands.

Congratulations to all of the entrants and thank you for your support. Unfortunately, there can only be one winner in each category. Our judges would like to acknowledge the quality of all the entries, and convey that it was indeed a hard decision.

First prize: Wayne Davis - “JOHN BLESSES THE ANIMALS”

You can still vote for your favourite during the exhibition.

We are delighted to offer the People’s Choice of $ 500, which will be announced at the end of the exhibition on 20th March.

The exhibition will run from 6th –20th March 2026 at the White Gallery, Bundanoon. For further information please email us at bundanoon.portraitprize@bca.asn.au
