‘Free to Be Me’ Photography Competition
As part of this year’s 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, we are partnering with Macedon Ranges Shire Council to launch ‘Free to Be Me’, a photography competition that aims to challenge restrictive gender stereotypes and expectations.
‘Free to Be Me’ is an invitation to show how we can all live, work and play outside of restrictive norms. Where men can be gentle and caring, women can be strong and lead, and gender-diverse or non-binary people can be active in typically male or female roles or spaces.
- Submissions open 11 October and close 8 November and anyone over 12 years of age who lives, works, or plays in the Macedon Ranges can enter (note: parent/guardian permissions may apply for photographers/subjects under the age of 18).
- Shortlisted photographs will be exhibited locally and online from 25 November to 10 December.
- Prizes will be awarded for first place adult, first place youth, and people’s choice.
