At the heart of Head On Photo Festival are the Head On Photo Awards, spanning Portrait, Landscape and Student categories, judged each year by a diverse panel of Australian and international photography industry leaders, from creators to curators.
Head On’s philosophy hinges upon the belief that all artists should receive equal opportunities to gain exposure to their work. Valuing merit and inclusivity, the judging panel selects finalists and winners through a blind judging process in which artists’ names are hidden – ensuring a uniquely unbiased selection process.
While providing photo-based artists with invaluable prospects to exhibit in Sydney, online and internationally, Head On has awarded artists over $800,000 in cash and prizes on a global scale since 2004 and has toured the exhibitions internationally.
The Head On Photo Awards have sky-rocketed several talented photographers’ careers and helped develop and expand the photographic medium worldwide.
To be announced at the Festival launch 10 November.
