Canyoning Australia is thrilled to announce our 2025 Photo Competition, inviting photographers of all skill levels to capture and showcase the beauty of Australia’s canyons.
About the competition
The photos MUST be of an Australian canyon. We’re here to celebrate the waterfalls of down under, folks!
There will be two categories for the competition:
Human element – Capture a person in action, whether it’s descending a waterfall, doing a sick jump, or striking a pose against a stunning canyon backdrop.
Without human element – Focus solely on the canyon itself.
How to Enter
Entering the competition is easy:
Capture your best canyoning photos in one of the two categories: "With Person" or "Without Person."
Submit your photos via email to auscanyoningassoc+photocomp@gmail.com. Please include a brief description of each photo (the canyon, a bit about the trip, persons featured etc).
Include your full name, contact details, and category in your email.
Each participant can submit a maximum of two photos per category, for a total of four entries.
