Bangkok Post – Italthai Portrait Prize is back

The Italthai Portrait Prize is back for the fourth year and invites artists across the country to tell the story of life in Thailand in 2024 through portraits to vie for cash prizes worth 900,000 baht in total.

A collaboration between Italthai Group and River City Bangkok, this national portraiture competition is renowned as a compelling platform for artists exploring the boundaries of portrait art.

Open to professional, amateur and student artists, it encourages them to reach beyond their immediate circle of family and friends and paint the portraits of people who have influenced and left a mark on life in Thailand in some way.

Portraits must be created from a live sitting and the artist is required to provide a short story about the sitter. The judging panel will consist of seven opinion leaders from the business, public and private sectors.

Winners will not only…
