Calling all young photographers!

Wollongong Art Gallery’s Photography Competition, HOME is open to both primary and secondary students. From year 5 up to HSC students.

What does ‘home’ mean to you? Is it a place, feeling or does it remind you of a person? We are looking for original, thought provoking photography. We love seeing striking imagery that excels at storytelling and allows us to see your ‘home’ in photographic format. Entry forms can be found on the links listed below.

Age categories and prizes are listed on each entry form. For further enquiries contact our Education Officer Julie Danilov: jdanilov@wollongong.nsw.gov.au.
Best of luck!
