Portrait of a Senior Territorian Art Award

Art Award

The Annual Portrait of a Senior Territorian Award—sponsored by the Northern Territory Government in partnership with Tactile Arts—is a celebration of the lives, stories, and contributions of senior Territorians, recognising their impact on our community. Through excellence in visual art and creative storytelling—including the popular Selfie with a Senior Award—we honour the richness of experience and connection shared across generations.

This year, 29 outstanding finalist works are on display, each capturing the spirit, strength, and individuality of senior Territorians. We invite you to explore the exhibition, reflect on these powerful portraits, and celebrate the technical expertise and dedication behind them.

Award Categories & Prizes

  • First Prize: $7,000
  • Second Prize: $2,000
  • Third Prize: $500
  • Young Artist Award: $500
  • People's Choice Award: $1,000

In addition to the main prizes, don’t miss the Selfie with a Senior prize—generously sponsored by COTA NT—which adds a fun and heartfelt twist to the celebration.
