The aim of the 2008 awards theme was to encourage photographers to capture the places, times and events that make Brisbane a great place to live – our streets, our suburbs, our city. Brisbane’s 150th birthday in 2009 is a great opportunity to reflect on our rich and diverse history and how far we’ve come.
Along with the winners and other selected entries, the exhibition also includes a range of displays and activities celebrating photography throughout the last 150 years. Visitors can enjoy images from the Elliot Collection – images of 1890’s Brisbane, a display of antique and vintage cameras, and cast a vote in The Courier-Mail’s People Choice Award .
