The finalist exhibition of the 2026 Lord Mayor’s Photographic Awards brings together striking photographic works that capture the city’s spirit — from familiar streets and riverside scenes to the fleeting moments, routines and characters that make Brisbane feel like home.
New this year, the Brisbane Postcards Collection category invites photographers to showcase Brisbane’s charm and energy through images that locals recognise, and visitors instantly fall in love with. Selected winning works will be available as collectible postcards at MoB Shop.
Open to anyone who lives, works or studies in Brisbane, the 2026 Awards celebrate what makes our city unique through this year’s theme, Everyday Brisbane. Entries are now open and close 4pm Friday 5 June 2026. For category information and entry details, visit the Brisbane City Council website.
Selected works will also be displayed at Brisbane Airport Domestic Terminal for travellers and visitors to enjoy.
Presented in partnership with Brisbane City Council and Major Partner Brisbane Airport.
