Established in 2007 as an extension to the Portrait Prize, the Moran Contemporary Photographic Prize celebrates and promotesAustralian contemporary photography.
Entrants are asked to interpret ‘Contemporary Life in Australia’ with an emphasis on day-to-day life. The Prize is open to Australian photographers of all ages, with special awards for students and their schools.
The Photographic Prize winner will be selected by a panel of judges including photographic historian Alan Davies, the former Emeritus Curator of Photographs at the State Library of New South Wales and an international judge yet to be announced.
