The youth category (for photographers 30 years and under) was won by 16-year-old Maddison O’Brien from Kelvin Grove for her work, Brisbane Delight, which expressed her feelings about the city.
Maddison won $2500 along with professional development opportunities for her photographic skills. The two winning entries along with the works of other finalists, in now on display in King George Square, hanging in ‘The Verandah’ area until October 31.
“I urge all Brisbane residents to come down, show their support and have a look at how talented our emerging photographers are,” Cr Newman said.
