Over the past decade, Photographer of the Year has become an important launchpad for many amateur photographers in Australia and New Zealand.
For 2024, entrants will compete for a prize pool valued at more than $16,000. The Top 100 entries across the nine categories will be published in a special Photographer of the Year edition of Australian Photography magazine. Further, the winning entries will be exhibited at Ted's World of Imaging in Sydney.
Photographer of the Year includes six portfolio categories – Landscape, Animal & Nature, People, Aerial, Travel and Black & White – and three single-image categories – Single Shot, Creative and Junior (for entrants under 18).
For the Portfolio categories, you need to enter four images. For the Single Image categories, enter one image.
To enter the competition you must be an amateur photographer (as defined in the terms and conditions), and a citizen or resident of Australia or New Zealand.
