The Festival encompasses the prestigious Head On Photo Awards, which represent a global selection of the best work from emerging and established photographers across three categories:
➜ Portrait: the image must feature or reflect the essence of a person or group of people and must be photographed by the Applicant. Group portraits, self-portraits and collages are accepted.
➜ Landscape: Head On’s approach to ‘Landscape’ is very broad and encompasses ‘large vista’ images of the natural environment (land or sea), urban or industrial settings. It may include people, but these should be ‘incidental’ rather than the main subject matter.
➜ Student: open to year K-12 students enrolled in an Australian school or are homeschooled within Australia. Students may also enter the Portrait and Landscape categories.
Images must be produced by a photographic device (including mobile devices) that captures images (experimental processes welcome), in colour and/or black & white. You may enhance the image and apply filters.
