The AIB Portrait Prize 2025 is now accepting entries. The annual competition showcases contemporary portraiture and invites submissions from artists working in all media and disciplines, from across the island of Ireland and from Irish artists living abroad. The Prize aims to celebrate and encourage interest in contemporary portraiture, while raising the profile of the evolving National Portrait Collection at the National Gallery of Ireland.
The winner of the competition will receive a cash prize of €15,000 and will be commissioned to create a work for the National Portrait Collection, for which they will be awarded a further €5,000. Two additional awards of €1,500 will be given to highly commended works.
An exhibition featuring a shortlist of portraits chosen by the judging panel will go on display in the Gallery from 8 November 2025 until 15 March 2026.
