The John McCaughey Memorial Prize was instituted by Mona McCaughey in 1957, to commemorate her father John, an Irish-born pastoral industry investor who had died in Sydney on 20 June 1928. John was the younger brother of Sir Samuel McCaughey, also a pastoralist.<ref name="SOAN">{{cite web | title=Art prize for three Australian artists |website=State of the Arts | date= 19 July 2004| url=http://www.stateart.com.au/sota/news/default.asp?fid=2783 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070831070719/http://www.stateart.com.au/sota/news/default.asp?fid=2783 | archive-date=31 August 2007 | url-status=dead }}</ref>
