Australia has three major portrait competitions every year. The Archibald, Portia Geach (for women artists) and the Doug Moran Portrait Prize ($100,000 aust). The last one in particular was set up as a venue for encouraging traditional portrait painters. They all have web sites. Makes interesting viewing to see what sort of work wins all the major prizes in Australia. Bit tricky for we 'realists'
