ANU Photography and Media Arts PhD student CJ Taylor and alumnus Charlie White have been selected as finalists for the 2017 National Photographic Portrait Prize.

Celebrating its 10th anniversary year in 2017, the 50 finalists were selected from almost 3,000 entries. With a major prize of $25,000, awards will also be presented for Highly Commended, the Art Handlers’ Award and People’s Choice.

The exhibition of finalists will be displayed at the National Portrait Gallery from April to June 2017 and then tour to a range of venues around Australia.
