Iris Award
Presented by the Perth Centre for Photography, the Iris Award is Australia鈥檚 most distinctive and uninhibited portrait prize.
Embracing unrestrained approaches to portraiture, the Award celebrates works of nuance, raw emotion, and personal connection 鈥 revealing the essence of human relationships and lived experience, whether in love, joy, desire, distance, or disconnection. We are invited into the shifting constellations of human sentiment, a space for reflection and dialogue on intimacy and identity in contemporary life.
The Iris Award gives voice to both the personal and the universal, asking us to consider how we connect and where we fall short 鈥 with one another, with ourselves, and in our collective world.鈥嬧
