The Lester Prize is one of Australia's most prestigious awards for portraiture, celebrating the talents of artists and engaging the community. This screening debuts the finalists for this year's Lester Prize, chosen from nearly 1,000 entries vying for the coveted award.
This digital screening complements the physical exhibition at WA Museum Boola Bardip, which runs from September 19 to November 16, 2025.
The Lester Prize 2025 digital exhibition is showcased daily from September 19 to November 16 on the City of Perth Urban Screens.
About the Lester Prize
The Lester Prize is managed by The Lester Inc, a not-for-profit organisation founded in 2007 to provide an avenue for artists to exhibit works of portraiture within Western Australia. Working with government, peak arts bodies and community groups, it helps to diversify WA's local economy, grow cultural tourism, and activate spaces through creative placemaking. The Lester Prize provides locals and visitors with the opportunity to engage with the artform each year in a format that puts the artists and community front-and-centre.
The Lester Prize's exhibitions and public events program is targeted at diverse groups in the community and includes artist floor talks, workshops, live art demonstrations and pop-up community activations across the city.
