Emerging photographers are invited to submit a series or body of work shot in the last 12 months in the categories of Commercial, Documentary or Art.

Six judges from within the photographic and wider creative industries will select 15 finalists from across the three categories. Winners of each category and an overall winner are also selected from the finalists.

Each Projections finalist
• Has their work featured in a DVD production shown at a cinema screeningin Sydney, Melbourne Brisbane and Canberra
• Receives an assortment of prizes from our sponsors including Momento Pro Books, Crumpler Bags and vouchers from Kayell. Category winners also receive Sony Cameras and equipment and studio      hire from The Front.
• Are invited to participate in a Master Class run by advertising agency Saatchi & Saatchi.
• Will be a part of the people’s choice award with the winner and voter receiving prizes from Momento Pro.

The finalists’ work is put together in an audio-visual screening shown in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane & Canberra theatres. Screening the finalists’ work in full High Definition quality with contemporary music and design, the event showcases the latest photographers to keep an eye on and creates a night that is inspirational and entertaining.
