Marking the tenth edition of the awards, this milestone year also introduced a single open category for the first time – a change that has enabled an especially broad and compelling range of Australian photographic work to come forward. The collection reflects the strength and variety of practice across the country, and we acknowledge all shortlisted photographers for their achievement. We also extend our thanks to every participant who contributed work to this year’s awards.
Congratulations to the winners, honourable mentions, and shortlisted artists from APA 2026. Follow the link below to view the galleries in full.
