Local & Regional Photographic Events - 2025
Local and regional exhibitions are a good way to extend one's skills and knowledge of the medium. By visiting the exhibitions or entering the competitions, you will help support a vibrant photographic community in WA. Many of our members have great success in competing externally (see their achievements here).
Photography gear expos and markets are shown in blue. Non-competitive exhibitions are in purple.
Please check the respective websites for more details and potential changes to dates. This list is not exhaustive and does not include agricultural shows with a photography section, except for Woolarama and the Perth Royal Show.
