Woollahra Council Youth Photographic Award

"Glassy" by Alison McKean, winner of the 2007 Junior Secondary Section

Project Summary

The Woollahra Council Youth Photographic Award and Short Film Prize is an annual photography and short film competition open to local high school students in the Woollahra area and run as a joint project by the Woollahra Library and Information Service and the Waverley Woollahra Arts Centre.

Each year the photographic and short film entries are judged by industry professionals. Prizes are presented by the Mayor of Woollahra and the judges at a presentation night attended by the students, their families and teachers. The photographs and short films are on display at the presentation night and for two weeks after at the Woollahra Council and then for a further two weeks at the Paddington Library.

In 2007 the Woollahra Council Youth Photographic Award attracted a record number of entries with 158 photographs and 17 short films submitted by students from ten high schools in the area.

    "Cities must trade in cultural cringe for a growing sense of confidence in our distinctiveness. They must try to be somewhere, not anywhere in the extended global sprawl of electronic suburbia. Cities must wilfully believe that the unique combination of events that may fuse here is just as compelling as those that may fuse somewhere else. Cities need to involve their people in making and remaking their own mythology, and create something that is truly unique." Marcus Westbury
