Photographic Prize
The Moran Contemporary Photographic Prize was set in motion in 2007 by the Moran Arts Foundation. This Prize is exhibited at the same time as the Portrait Prize and consists of three sections; Open, Secondary Schools and Primary Schools. Entrants are asked to interpret ‘Contemporary life in Australia’, with an emphasis on Australian’s going about their day-to-day lives.
There is a total prize pool of A$130,000, with $100,000 awarded to the winner of the Open division and up to $10,000 awarded for highly commended works. The Secondary division is split into three sections; 7-8 (winner receives $2,000), 9-10 (winner receives $3,000) and 11-12 (winner receives $5,000). The 30 finalists of the Primary division each receive a digital camera.

Famous quotes containing the words photographic and/or prize:
“... the most grandiose result of the photographic enterprise is to give us the sense that we can hold the whole world in our heads—as an anthology of images.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“In the corrupted currents of this world
Offence’s gilded hand may shove by justice,
And oft ‘tis seen the wicked prize itself
Buys out the law; but ‘tis not so above:
There is no shuffling.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
