Competitions

Australian Photography is home to Australasia’s largest and most prestigious contest for amateur photographers, Photographer of the Year. The hotly contested competition offers cash and product prizes, and runs from June to November. The best images across eight categories – Landscape, Travel, Action, People & Portrait, Wildlife & Animal, Black and White, Junior (under 18) and Photo of the Year – are published in a special edition of Australian Photography in February.

We also host The Mono Awards, which shines a light on the very best black-and-white photography by amateur and professional photographers in Australia and New Zealand. The only competition of its type in the region, The Mono Awards culminate in the publication of special Black & White editions in the September issues of Australian Photography and Capture.

Last, but certainly not least, our free online competition attracts more than 1,000 entries each month.

Social Media

Today we have over 63,000-plus active followers who engage with us regularly on Facebook and Instagram. Among other things, social media hosts our People’s Choice voting programs and is a thriving hub for an active community of passionate and talented photographers.

Live Events

As well as engaging readers in print, online and in social media, Australian Photography hosts boutique live events, often co-hosted with commercial partners. Recent events hosted by Australian Photography and Capture include FOTO L!VE (a full-day photography event in Sydney featuring eight leading pro photographers), a three-city instameet series, and a sold-out Wedding Workshop program that saw photographers honing their shooting skills with a model bride and groom in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
