In addition to the educational opportunities, the top 20 finalists brought their original artwork for display and final judging in The International, a premier competition focused on portraiture and figurative work. The finalists were selected from 3,075 entries, representing 48 states and 57 countries. The 25th-anniversary competition featured a $50,000 cash grand prize. To date, the Portrait Society has awarded over $1.3 million in cash and prizes. These are impressive numbers indeed, but it is the collective and individual stories behind these numbers that reflect the true value and impact of the Portrait Society over the last 25 years.
