Garrick/Milne Prize

The Garrick/Milne Prize was a biennial art prize which served to revive the art of theatrical painting and portraiture.[1][2] The prize was set up by the Garrick Club in memory of A. A. Milne, a past member.[2]

Originally £20,000,[1] the prize was last held in 2005 and has since been replaced by direct commissions.[3]
