The biggest portrait prize in Australia is The Archibald.
I was at the Art Gallery of New South Wales checking out the finalists today and came across a very cool painting titled -
'self portrait in the bathroom discussing beauty, bukowski and brett whiteley with my ex, now a stripper who likes to dress as wonder woman'
I have attached a link to the painting below

- click on galleries, then Archibald Prize Finalist - and then click on painting for closer look.
The picture doesn't do it justice as it is on acrylic and looks brilliant.
Thought it was worth mentioning.
