About Australian Life

Australian Life is one of Australia's biggest - and most democratic - photography prizes. For more than 20 years, amateur and professional photographers have sent in their epic and intimate images of Australia taken over the last 12 months.

The finalists and major winners taking home prizes worth up to $10,000 are chosen by a panel of professional photographers, artists and curators.

Australian Life is produced by the City of Sydney as part of Art & About Sydney, an ongoing program of temporary art projects in unusual spaces.
