The Bald Archy Prize is Australia’s premier satirical portrait competition, internationally recognised for its irreverent humour and fearless wit. Established as a tongue-in-cheek alternative to traditional portrait prizes, it celebrates the lighter side of art and the larrikin Australian spirit.

Judged by the inimitable Professor Maude, a sulphur-crested cockatoo and the world’s only avian art critic, the prize features portraits that are bold, provocative, and delightfully absurd. Past winning subjects have included Kerry Packer, Shane Warne, John Howard, Pauline Hanson, and other larger-than-life Australian figures.

Expect portraits that will make you think, make you talk, and most importantly, make you laugh.
