The Australia & New Zealand Photobook Award celebrates excellence, originality and “fitness for purpose” in photo book creation, while the cash and print prizes help local artists produce publications and progress their photographic career.
Since 2011 prizes valued at $137,000 have been distributed to 155 finalists whose work has been showcased in a travelling exhibition and print catalogues that are distributed to photo book communities, critics, and media across the world.
