$6,000 CASH PRIZE POOL + 18-MONTH ARTIST REPRESENTATION
FREE TO ENTER
One Photography. Make it Count.
Some photographs capture a place. Others capture a feeling. We're looking for the ones you can't stop looking at.
FINEPRINTCO is inviting photographers from across Australia to show us their interpretation of Australia Lifestyle.
Professional or amateur. Digital or film. Camera or phone. We're not looking for a particular style.
We're looking for your perspective.
The Theme
Australia, Through Your Lens.
What does Australian life look like to you? Maybe it's the first light hitting the coast. A motel on an empty highway. A packed city street. A quiet afternoon by the pool. Architecture you've walked past a hundred times. The people, places and moments that somehow just feel like Australia. Forget the postcard.
SHOW US THE AUSTRALIA YOU SEE
