Help share regional Australia's richest photography prize (ours)

Entries for the 2025 Galah Photography Prize close on midnight, February 10 and we are asking all our friends and supporters to share the news so it reaches as many regional photographers as possible.

We value our regional artists and this prize is one way for Galah to put this into practice.

The overall winner will receive $25,000 and we want as many regional photographers as possible to have a shot not just at winning it, but being selected as a finalist and being hung in our exhibition, coming to the party and connecting with a wider community of regional artists and those who support them.

The entry form and outline can be found via the link below.

• Entries are open to Australian photographers living outside of the major capital cities. Here's a list of eligible postcodes. Use the search icon on the top right of the table to search for your postcode. If you can't find your postcode but are sure you are regional, email us at info@galahpress.com
