This showcased event has concluded.
Australian Life is one of the nation's biggest - and most democratic - photography prizes. For more than 15 years, amateur and professional photographers have presented epic and intimate images of Australia. A panel of professional photographers, artists and curators selects the finalists and the $10,000 grand prize winner. 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.
From loud bursts of colour to quiet family moments, these 28 images paint a picture of Australia's unique personality. Youthful innocence, caring communities, sporting prowess, intimacy and reflection - these documented moments represent stories that make up Australian Life.
Join Cherine Fahd in conversation with 3 of 2021's finalists, Matthew Abbott, James Brickwood and Elise Derwin about how their entries evoke the feelings of space.
