Youth by Georgia Brogan, the 2021 Australian Life grand prize winner
2022 Australian Life Photography Competition - Entries Open!
Australian Life showcases scenes and stories that make us laugh, cry and wonder.
From the epic to the intimate, the harsh to the fragile, Australia holds so many experiences for so many people.
Whether you’re professional or amateur, we want to see Australian Life through your lens.
You may capture any aspect of Australia – everyday occurrences, fleeting moments, unusual places, intriguing characters, the diversity of cultures or subcultures, celebrations, or rituals, natural or artificial environments.
From the entries we receive, 28 finalists will be selected to have their work enlarged and exhibited in Hyde Park north, Sydney, from 15 September to 9 October.
