He is a four-time finalist in the Blake Prize (2006, 2007, 2009 and 2018), and a three-time finalist in the Archibald Prize (2008, 2012 and 2015). He was also a finalist in the 2013 & 2019 Sulman Prize, Art Gallery of New South Wales, and the 2014 Black Swan Prize for Portraiture, Art Gallery of Western Australia.
