The Kilgour Prize is an annual non-acquisitive art prize for figurative and portrait painting. This major Australian art prize awards $50,000 for the most outstanding work of art as selected by the judging panel. A People’s Choice award of $5,000 is presented for the painting voted most popular by the public during the exhibition. Newcastle Art Gallery celebrates the twentieth anniversary of the Kilgour Prize this year. Administered by Newcastle Art Gallery since 2006, the Kilgour Prize was established following the generous bequest of renowned Newcastle-based figurative and portrait painter, Jack Noel Kilgour (1900-1987).
