The APS Sydney Branch Outstanding Lecturer in Psychology Award encourages psychology students to take an active role in and promotion of the Society through the nomination of a theme in the field of psychology and accompanying lecturer most likely to pack psychology students into a lecture hall.

This Award is inspired by the Art Gallery of NSW annual Packing Room Prize awarded in association with the Archibald Prize for portraiture: Australia’s most prestigious portraiture prize. The Packing Room Prize is awarded to the work selected by the gallery staff responsible for unpacking, sorting, storing and installing the works for the Archibald Prize.
