Youth Week Photography Competition 2024 – Australia

Categories

• They’re looking for interesting and creative photos taken by you! Prizes will be awarded in the three categories outlined below.
  • Category one: Express
    • Unleash the boundless creativity of photography to capture the ways people express themselves. Explore the depths of human emotion, individuality, and cultural identity through your lens. Seek out moments of raw authenticity; where gestures, faces and surroundings become the canvas for self-expression.
  • Category two: Empower
    • Through the lens of your camera (or phone!), capture moments that embody the theme of “empowerment”. Seek out scenes of strength, resilience and self-empowerment in individuals or communities. Whether it’s a quiet moment of personal triumph, an act of kindness or a group rallying for a common cause, translate the spirit of empowerment into an impactful photograph that inspires the viewer.
  • Category three: Get Loud!
    • Capture energy and enthusiasm in a single photograph. Whether it’s a bustling street filled with people, a lively concert crowd immersed in music, or a dynamic moment of self-expression, use your camera to show them what “getting loud” means to you.
