The Kiingi Tuheitia Portraiture Award is a biennial competition that encourages emerging Māori artists to create portraits of their tūpuna (ancestors) in any medium. The Award was launched in August 2020 and is hosted and toured nationally by the New Zealand Portrait Gallery Te Pūkenga Whakaata in honour of Kiingi Tuheitia. The inaugural award was held in 2021.
The Kiingi Tuheitia Portraiture Award provides emerging Māori artists with the opportunity to showcase their talents on the national stage, while also playing an important role in recording and celebrating tūpuna and their stories.
The 2023 judges were Steve Gibbs, Mr G Hoete, and Lisa Reihana.
