2009 National Youth Self Portrait Prize- Jet James


My entry ' Disposable Self' has been short listed to 32 works and will be included into the National Portrait Gallery online exhibition for the National Youth Self Portrait Prize. The website will be launched on Thursday July 23 and can be viewed at www.portrait.gov.au/site/nyspp.php from that date.


"This year the prize has been highly competitive with over 300 artworks submitted. All entries have been of the highest standard and have displayed an impressive variety of media and techniques. A short list of 15 final works were selected for the exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery".


I was unlucky to make it to the final 15. Though its a great surprise to have the image that I entered achieve a shortlisting, Its a very big honour. Wish me luck for next year :)
