Quoted from National Portrait Gallery :

^{The National Portrait Gallery invites all Australian residents to enter the inaugural National Photographic Portrait Prize 2007 which will be displayed in the Gallery from 6 December 2007 to 23 March 2008. The Prize, sponsored by Visa International, is an annual event intended to promote the very best in contemporary photographic portraiture by both professional and aspiring Australian photographers.}

^{With the generous support of Visa International, the National Portrait Gallery is offering a prize of $25,000 for the most outstanding photographic portrait. A selection panel of three judges will make an initial selection from all entries to determine the shortlist of finalists for inclusion in the exhibition. The judges will choose the prize winner from the portraits on display in the exhibition. Entries will be judged on their power as a portrait photograph rather than the status of the sitter or the reputation of the photographer.}

^{Closing date for entries
The closing date for entries is 31 August 2007}
