An ADF Families Event: My Life in Defence Photography

What does life in Defence look like to you?

Defence Member and Family Support Cerberus welcome members and their families to share what Defence life is like for you.

Get out your cameras and snap a photo that represents what life in Defence means to you. Is it the backyard of your fourth house in two years? Dirty work boots by the door?

Then showcase your work at our photography exhibition where participants will be encouraged to display their work in their preferred medium (for example: printed, digital or scrapbook) and discuss their inspiration. Participants can choose to showcase their work with their name or anonymously if they prefer.

Prizes will be awarded to first, second and third places.

Please ensure all photos adhere to the Defence media and communication policy and consent is obtained if photos have identifiable persons in them.

For more information and to register visit: Eventbrite. Registration closes Monday 16 September.
