National Portrait Gallery Competition

The National Portrait Gallery invites artists all over America to
investigate the contemporary art of the portrait for the second Outwin
Boochever Portrait Competition, to be held in 2009. The competition and
resulting exhibition will celebrate excellence and innovation, with a
strong focus on the variety of portrait media used by artists today.
The National Portrait Gallery welcomes single figures, groups, or
self-portraits–from classical drawing and painting or hyperrealistic
sculpture to large-scale photography to prints and new media. The
competition is named for Virginia Outwin Boochever (1920-2005), a former Portrait Gallery volunteer whose generous gift has endowed this program.
