What’s all this then?

Welcome to the new-look website for the Fremantle International Portrait Prize (FiPP). Endorsed by the City of Fremantle, the FiPP is fast becoming one of Australia's most prestigious photographic portrait awards. The competition involves the initial submission of digital images which are then short-listed by a panel of three independent distinguished judges. Around 75 short-listed images are then exhibited as prints in the Moores Building Contemporary Art Gallery, Fremantle, followed by an Exhibition Opening event in August 2013 at which the winners are announced.

Why should I get involved?

The FiPP promotes excellence in the art of portrait photography at the same time as raising funds for the well established charitable organisation, Arthritis & Osteoporosis Western Australia. By participating in the FiPP you can help vital work in the prevention and treatment of arthritis which occurs across all age groups, from children to the elderly.

What happened last time?

The inaugural FiPP was an outstanding success in 2012. The highlights included: • 696 entries were received from 22 countries • Third place was won by a photographer in Hungary • 4,432 people visited the two-week exhibition in Fremantle • 5,491 unique visitors used the FiPP website in 2012 (the site had 330,000 hits in the same period) • $5,962 was raised for our charity sponsors, Arthritis & Osteoporosis WA; and • 6,223 votes were cast in the online People's Choice award after the exhibition.

Hey, where’s the (terrific) old FiPP

website gone?

“Ideas Man”

Winner of the $5,000 2012

Fremantle International

Portrait Prize

By Louise Cooke [Padbury, Western Australia] Louise says: “I met this bloke, Alan, while photographing in the hills around Bridgetown, WA. He zoomed quietly across the paddocks in his electric car, which he built himsef. He was fascinating to chat with, spinning all sorts of interesting ideas and opinions in a half hour chat. A true “Ideas Man”!! Here he holds one of his goats, Sara, who was abandoned at birth. Alan claimed she was a bit of a handful at times and loved to drive around in the passenger seat of his car.” Want to see the other 2012 winners and shortlisted entries? Easy!
