The judges this time will be artists Marie-Louise Martin and Nick Robinson. This prestigious art competition invites artists to submit self-portraits (maximum of 60cm in size) that showcase their unique perspective and skill. The awards are in honour of the Stillorgan-born artist Sir William Orpen (1878-1931) who was famous for his self-portraits.

The awards ceremony will take place in January 2027 at the United Arts Club, 3 Fitzwilliam Street Upper, Dublin. Followed by a three week exhibition of the top 30 submissions.

New submission details and prizes will be announced shortly, watch this space.
