Head On 2009
*
Next year's show will open at the Australian Centre for Photography on 30 April 2009 (and will run until 7 June). It will also be hosted at the Obscura Gallery in Melbourne in June 2009.
*
The 2009 competition judges are Trent Parke (Magnum), Narelle Autio (multi award winning photographer), Judith Love (Good Weekend magazine picture editor) and Moshe Rosenzveig (Head On Curator).
#
Support from our sponsors has been absolutely fantastic and will continue next year which means prizes in 2009 will be even larger than this year's (more than $35000 in total).
#
Online Submission will open in January. Deadline for submissions 22 March 2009.
#
Judging will continue to be done anonymously. The main selection criteria are the quality and impact of the image, rather than the celebrity of the photographer or subject.
