Congratulations to Photojournalist & PSC Graduate, Melanie Faith Dove awarded the people's choice award for the National Portrait Prize in 2013 for her portrait Face of South Sudan 2012:

This is the second People’s Choice award and it reinforces the democratic credentials of the prize with over 3500 visitors to the exhibition voting for their favourite portrait.

Upon hearing of the award, Faith Dove said ‘Being voted People’s Choice winner is extremely exciting. To be chosen by the hearts and gut responses of the public means I have communicated effectively and touched the viewer. To me that is the definition of success’.

The National Photographic Portrait Prize is an annual event intended to promote the very best in contemporary photographic portraiture by both professional and aspiring Australian photographers. The Gallery is offering a prize of $25,000 for the most outstanding photographic portrait.
