Student Photographic Competition - now open

The 2024 competition is open to students attending Australian primary or secondary schools or colleges. It provides an excellent opportunity for students to become aware of the value and beauty of the ANBG and, by exercising their photographic skills, to share that beauty with other visitors.

All entries must be digital photographs taken in the ANBG between 30 August 2023 and 30 August 2024, featuring some aspect of the Gardens such as plants, wildlife or scenery.

For full information about the competition and its conditions, categories and prizes, download the information sheets for secondary schools & colleges (PDF, 254KB) and for primary schools (PDF, 254KB).

Enter online at www.friendsanbg.org.au/schoolscomp2024. Entries must be received by the organisers before 5pm on Friday 30th August 2024. To avoid delays and congestion, submit your entry as early as possible.

Download the competition poster (PDF, 3.76 MB) and share it with your other friends and networks. This poster features prize-winning photographs from previous years’ competitions.
