Helena Rubinstein portrait prize, also known as "Boans - Helena Rubinstein portrait prize", was an annual prize of £300 for portraiture by an Australian artist, awarded by the Helena Rubinstein Foundation (disbanded 2011), and mostly staged at the Claude Hotchin Gallery in Western Australia. It is likely that the prize ceased in 1966, but there is a reference to Robert Juniper winning in 1976 with "Portrait of Rose"
