THE LE NOEUD PAPILLON SELF PORTRAIT PRIZE BEGINS TODAY - ENTRIES CLOSE DECEMBER 21, 2025
The next competition will have the same prize. 1000 aud to the winner. 500 rrp vouchers to two runners up. We return to our favoured genre - the self portrait - preferably pencil on paper but digital pen work on Procreate and Fresco will be accepted. Paintings will also be accepted so long as they are original artworks created for the competition and you will need to document this. The only criteria - you must be wearing neckwear - bow ties, neck ties, scarves, bandanas and so on. Good luck and may your hand move freely.
PICTURED IS MY FAVOURITE SUBMISSION OF ALL TIME SO FAR, AN INIMITABLE SELF PORTRAIT BY JONATHAN NEWHOUSE WHO ALSO JUST HAPPENS TO BE ONE OF THE FAMILY OWNERS OF CONDE NAST MAGAZINES. YOU CAN FOLLOW HIS WORK HERE @jonathanednewhouse .
