Premier's Multicultural Photographic Awards
The Premier's Multicultural Photographic Awards celebrates the dynamic and strong cultural heritage of our community.
The awards encourage Queensland school students and amateur and professional photographers to capture images that reflect a theme, representing multiculturalism in Queensland through photography.
The awards offer a range of generous prizes to winners selected from shortlisted entries.
In the 2007-08 Premier's Multicultural Photographic Awards, six winners shared more than $20,000 in cash and prizes.
Entrants were asked to submit images under the theme 'New Beginnings' in the following categories:
- Open Category
- Primary School Student Category
- Secondary School Student Category
- Professional Category
- Digital Image Manipulation Category.
An exhibition of short listed images was displayed at South Bank Parklands arbour throughout January and February.
The People's Choice Award was decided through an online, public vote of the 2007-08 short listed images, conducted on the Multicultural Affairs Queensland website.
