2 September 2025

Calling all passionate photographers! Be part of something special.

The Bega Streetlight Festival Photo Exhibition invites you to capture and celebrate the authentic heart of the Bega Valley Shire.

“We’d love to see the everyday Bega Valley through people’s eyes,” Executive Director of South East Arts, Kate Bradbury said.

“It could be a busy street, a quiet corner, or a moment that just says ‘this is home’. That’s what this exhibition is all about — capturing the feel of our community.

“It’s going to be amazing to see the shopfronts in Carp Street light up with local images.

“Walking through town and seeing local stories up there will be a real celebration of who we are.

“Whether you’re a seasoned professional or enthusiastic amateur, this is your opportunity to showcase your perspective.”

Submissions are open to photographers of all levels and can contain up to five images per entrant. AI-generated or composite images will not be accepted.

Each finalist will receive an artist fee and have their image professionally printed for display.
