Home Parks and reserves Photo competitions

Photo competitions

ACT Parks and Conservation Service run seasonal photo competitions to encourage visitors to discover our region’s parks and reserves. No matter the season, there is always something to discover in our nature parks and the ACT has a fantastic network of tracks and trails to help you explore.

The photo competitions offer Canberrans and visitors to our region the opportunity to share their experiences in nature and potentially win great prizes along the way.
