Student Photography

Competition Overview ​

Those with an eye for photography can submit their work in the Photography Competition presented by Spotlight.

The Student Photography class encourages emerging artists to showcase their budding talents and recognises and rewards the next generation of passionate photographers.

In 2021, the competition will have an exciting new home with the Spotlight Arts & Cookery precinct moving upstairs in the Royal International Convention Centre (Royal ICC).

This competition is aligned and recommended for Year 9 & 10 students. However, all year levels are welcome to enter.
