Congratulations to Hoda Afshar for winning the National Photographic Portrait Prize. The winning work, Untitled #01 (from the series Code Black/Riot) 2024, is part of a collaboration with a group of First Nations young people in far north Queensland that questions a system that targets and imprisons them from the age of 10. The project, facilitated by the Cairns based Youth Empowered Towards Independence and Change the Record in Sydney, invited participants to have their portraits taken, using a means of their own choosing to conceal their identities while making a personal statement. ‘Some of them chose flowers or bubbles. Others a flag, mask or face paint. The three girls here chose this gesture,’ Afshar said.

The People’s Choice Award will be announced in October.
