The largest exhibition of
photographic entries nationwide
Enter now
The Hillvale Photo Trophy is the largest exhibition of photographic entries nationwide run by Hillvale Gallery and Hillvale Photo open to everyone, everywhere. Each of the artworks submitted is printed and displayed in a salon-style exhibition at Hillvale Gallery. Since 2022, Hillvale Gallery has showcased over 60 photographic artists over 38 exhibitions, cementing our position as the foremost gallery for emerging photographers in Australia. Entries can include all forms of analogue and digital photography and alternative methods of lens-based image making.
During the opening night celebration on Friday October 16, we'll be awarding several awards as picked by our judges. In addition to the judges awards, the ‘People’s Print’ will be awarded at the close of The Photo Trophy.
Your support directly funds Hillvale Gallery
This fundraising photo prize competition is our way of funding the gallery as a means to directly support artists through paying artist fees, exhibition development, and additional space builds to bring ideas to life. This competition will not only provide a platform for emerging photographers to showcase their work but also contribute towards building a sustainable arts community by providing necessary resources for artists to thrive.
Made by photographers for photographers
The Hillvale Photo Trophy serves as a means to continue pursuing our passion for photography and providing a space for photographic and lens-based image makers to experiment with their practice in an accessible, generous, and open environment. By offering paid opportunities for artists to showcase their work in new and innovative ways, we hope to foster a vibrant and supportive community while furthering the boundaries of photographic art.
