Ballarat National Photographic Exhibition

Saturday 7 December 2013 – Sunday 19 January 2014

The Ballarat National Photographic Exhibition provides a quality art and cultural experience, which raises the profile of photography and encourages visitors to Ballarat. It is well-regarded in Australia’s photographic circles and this year has attracted eight hundred and eighty-five images from ninety-two entrants from as far as Broome in Western Australia. The top one-hundred and sixteen prints have been selected for display.
This is the forty-fifth year that the Ballarat Camera Club has staged the exhibition, which has been held at the Art Gallery of Ballarat since 1997. The Ballarat National Photographic Competition is approved by the Australian Photographic Society and is run in accordance with its recommended practices.
