15th September – 17th November 2025
We’re inviting locals of all ages and skill levels to capture the heart of their neighbourhoods. From street scenes to smiling faces, submit your photo and help us celebrate what makes Lilydale special.
How It Works:
- Submissions
What makes Lilydale special to you? Snap a photo of the people, places, or moments and submit your photo before 12th October. Categories will include Junior Photographer (Under 18s) / Beginner’s Eye (Smartphones/basic cameras) / Pro-Am (Advanced gear/editing)
- Judging
Judging will take place mid October and will be conducted by a centre management representative alongside a seasoned professional from the Australian photography industry. Each category winner will receive a $500 Lilydale Village Gift Card, and the top 20 entries will progress to the People’s Choice Award where the public can vote for their favourites on their next visit to Lilydale Village.
- Voting & Exhibition
Voting will run from 27th October to 16th November, with voters entering a draw to win a $300 Lilydale Village Gift Card. Winners will be announced on 18th November across the Lilydale Village social media and website.
