Be the first to spot Australia's next top photographer at Projections 2011, proudly presented by ACMP in
Association with Sony. This month, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Canberra will screen the finalists of
Projections 2011 - an annual competition that is rapidly becoming a major talent-spotting event for the next
generation of top photographers.
Photographers with less than 3 years' professional experience have submitted a themed series of works and
are vying for one of five titles: Best Documentary Photographer; Best Commercial Photographer; Best Art
Photographer; People's Choice Award; and the grand prize, Best Overall Photographer. Entrants to this years
Pool Grant will be on the edge of their seats in Sydney where the winner of the $10,000 contribution towards
shooting their dream project will be announced.
Creative directors, art directors, photographers producers and lovers of a fabulous visual feast are invited to
come and have a few drinks, dive into the work in full HD screenings and meet some fresh photographic talent.
Projections entries are in a unique format - photographers are asked to submit a thematic series of images,
rather than individual shots. To best display the finalists' work, it is shown as a full cinematic experience
complete with soundtrack, animation and graphics. The soundtrack features tracks from Dead Letter Chorus,
Edward Deer, Oliver Tank, Monique Brumby, Guerre, The Shipwrecked and more. This September sees a
Brisbane screening added to the list of Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra making Projections one of the fastest
growing true representations of home grown photographic talent in Australia.
Projections is now in its 8th year, jointly presented by the Australian Commercial and Media Photographers
(ACMP) and Sony.
