Footscray Hospital photo comp

Photographers from Melbourne’s west are invited to take part in a new photography competition that could result in their images being featured at the new Footscray Hospital.

The competition’s theme of place: connections to nature and wellbeing encourages entries that respond to the natural elements found in the western suburbs that will bring a sense of calm to hospital patients and visitors.

The competition is free to enter and open to anyone from curious beginners to seasoned photographers. You don’t even need a professional camera, just a keen eye.

Whether it’s the changing sky over Werribee, a still morning in St Albans, or the glint of water in the Maribyrnong River, photos that capture the landscapes and natural beauty of the west and will provide emotional rest to patients, are what the judges are looking for.

Selected photos will be featured in an exhibition at the new Footscray Hospital and will be displayed digitally on patient room screens when the hospital opens early next year.

Along with having their work displayed inside the new hospital, cash prizes of up to $2000 are on offer for winning photographers, who must provide a caption of no more than 100 words with their entry.

All images must be taken within the Maribyrnong, Hobsons Bay, Brimbank, Wyndham, Melton or Moonee Valley council areas.
