Australian Photography Awards Shortlist

Written By Stef King

I’m incredibly excited to announce one of my recent images from my personal series shot in Thailand has been shortlist for the tenth edition of the Australian Photography Awards!

From the APA website - Marking the tenth edition of the awards, this milestone year also introduced a single open category for the first time – a change that has enabled an especially broad and compelling range of Australian photographic work to come forward. The collection reflects the strength and variety of practice across the country, and we acknowledge all shortlisted photographers for their achievement. We also extend our thanks to every participant who contributed work to this year’s awards.

Exhibition of the images - The Store gallery at Abbotsford Convent on August 1st to celebrate the 2026 APA Event, with artist talks and additional programming to be shared soon. Finalists will be announced ahead of the event, with their work exhibited in print, and winners will be announced on the day.
