Canberra Contemporary Photographic Prize

The Canberra Contemporary Photographic Prize is an open-entry exhibition and competition celebrating emerging and established talents in the field of photo media. This inaugural exhibition unites the distinct voices of 72 artists, offering a kaleidoscopic view of contemporary photographic art.

Reflecting on diverse themes, from our complex relationship with the natural world to mythological narratives, the inventive use of alternative photographic processes, and the adolescent experience, this competition speaks to contemporary culture across Australia and internationally.
