About
From 2011 – 2019, the Australia & New Zealand Photobook Award was facilitated by our friends at Momento Pro who sadly closed their doors in 2024. Since 2021, Photo Collective has worked to maintain this legacy through the custodianship of this significant award. In the spirit of collaboration, each edition of this award has been co-presented with another industry organisation committed to the celebration of the photobook community. In 2024 presented this award in partnership with PHOTO Australia, and in 2026 we are partnering with our friends Tall Poppy Press. Winners announcements and award exhibition will take place at MEL Photobook Fair in Naarm/Melbourne on the weekend of March 21/22, 2026.
