Australian Cup 2025 is an external DPI only competition which we can enter as a club ie. no individual entries, but 20 images will be selected as our club entry. As such, we are inviting all members to submit up to two entries per person. The theme for the competition is ‘THIS IS AUSTRALIA’ – definition provided is – “Any image that shows a flavour of life in Australia including landscapes, people, events and places including architecture, birds and animals. Images may be taken in any of Australia’s states or territories. Any subject that is treated pictorially, embodying the elements of good design, arrangement or composition, which reflect the personal interpretation of the photographer. Images may be colour or black and white.”
Entries must be a single image as captured by the camera. Images must not be ‘composite images’ that combine subjects or elements from different scenes – replacing a background or sky, for example. HDR, focus stacking etc that has has been performed in camera is permissible.
