Archibald believed that it was important for a nation as young as Australia to have a strong sense of national identity, and he decided to encourage this through a portraiture prize. The prize was to achieve three key aims: to promote portraiture, encourage Australian artists and memorialize prominent Australians. To do this, Archibald dictated that the subject and the artist must both be Australian residents.
