Young Photographer age categories:

One image will be selected from the three age categories to receive a $500 prize, a Owen Camera House voucher to the value of $100, their work displayed at USQ Arts Gallery Top 50 Exhibition and a certificate of merit.
Each individual can submit up to four images.
The images must be submitted at the same time and duplicate submissions will not be accepted.
You can select for your image to be judged under the Open category, Resilience (theme) category, depending on what suits your subject.
Images must have been taken within the last 12 months (i.e. after 8 May 2019) and must not have been previously submitted to these awards.
Images must be the original work of the entrant and should be formatted to JPG Format in RGB colour mode in either portrait or landscape orientation.
The images must be no more than 2MB in size with a minimum of 3000x2000 pixels (or 2000x3000 in portrait mode).
Please ensure you read the awards full terms & conditions.
A panel of three judges will assess the photographs based on the criteria of aesthetics, creativity, technical skill, uniqueness and in relation to the Theme category, how well the photography captures the theme of Resilience.
The judges will select approximately 50 images which will comprise the 2020 Heritage Bank Photographic Awards Exhibition to be displayed at USQ Art Gallery Toowoomba between 1 September- 23 September 2020.
The CEO's choice will be selected from these Top 50 images.
The Winners and Top 50 photographers will be advised of their success via email on 31 July 2020.
Your image must meet the minimum 3000x2000 pixels (or 2000x3000) pixel dimensions required.
The image must also be no more than 2MB in size.
You will need to adjust the pixel quality of your image and the file size before you can submit it into the competition.
You can do this in most photo editing programs.
If you don't have any photo editing software, you may like to use a free online editing platform like Pixlr which will enable you to adjust the file size and pixel dimensions.
When you press submit, you will see a confirmation screen on your browser advising your submission ID.
You can record this ID for your own records.
If you have already completed a submission for yourself, and then go back to try and process one for your child, it might end up taking you directly to your own submission 'Completed' page. If this is happening for you, please contact the Heritage Bank Sponsorship Team at heritagephotographicawards@heritage.com.au or on (07) 46 949 420.
