People’s Post Constantia & Wynberg
|May 13, 2025
One of the country's most respected portrait competitions, the Rust-en-Vrede Portrait Award, will officially open on Thursday 5 June.
-
This year marks the seventh edition of the contest which was established in 2013 and is held every two years.
The competition offers artists the chance to compete for a share of R200 000 and the opportunity for a solo exhibition.
The Top 40 finalists will also be featured in a group exhibition and included in a national touring show.
With a shorter entry window this year, submissions will be accepted from 09:00 on Thursday 5 June until 17:00 on Saturday 14 June.
Portraiture remains a vital form of storytelling and a mirror to both personal and collective experience.
