Inaugurated in 2006, the Prize is named in honour of respected painter, printmaker and draughtswoman, Miss Adelaide Elizabeth Perry (1891-1973), who taught Visual Arts at PLC Sydney from 1930 to 1962. In its twenty-first year, The Perry Prize is one of the most well-regarded of its kind in Australia, with a value of $25,000, acquisitive, and a People’s Choice award of $2,000, non-acquisitive. Each year during March, the Exhibition of Finalists contributes tremendously as an inspirational learning opportunity for our students and provides the community with an engaging exhibition of varied subject matter and wide-ranging technical approaches. Entries close 14 January 2026.
