Portrait Gallery (Room 23) | Admission free

Running alongside the annual AIB Portrait Prize, the AIB Young Portrait Prize is an inclusive art competition with the aim of fostering and supporting creativity, originality, and self-expression in children and young people. Open to entrants aged 18 and under, of all abilities, from across the island of Ireland, the Prize celebrates emerging young talent in portraiture.
A panel of judges will select 20 finalists across four age categories: 6 and under, 7–11, 12–15 and 16–18. These artworks will be featured in an exhibition in the Portrait Gallery from 8 November 2025 - 15 March 2026.

Entries for the 2025 competition will open in April. Full details on application dates and the submission process will be available at that time.

An exhibition sponsored by AIB, organised by the National Gallery of Ireland.
