Entires for the Alpha Awards Photo Competition 2026 are now open!
The past decade has seen more than 25,000 images submitted from all over Australia & New Zealand, and we are both proud and privileged to be able to celebrate this expression of creativity through photography.
Our philosophy is to inspire creativity through technology, and in many ways the Alpha Awards is a culmination of that goal, where we can see that process come full circle.
This year, we've got $62,000 worth of prizes up for grabs across twelve genre categories and our youth category.
Entries are open until June 30 2026. All of the details can be found in the link in our bio.
Good luck & happy photographing 📸
