REALITY – See Sydney Sweeney (Euphoria, The White Lotus) like you have never seen her before, playing a true-to-life whistleblower. REALITY is a riveting single-location thriller, using real FBI interrogation transcripts to present one of the most polarising political events in recent US history. ★★★★★ “Brilliant”| THE GUARDIAN. In cinemas 29 June.

The MCC Board would like to welcome Joanne Rinaldi to the Board as an Alternate Director, appointed by the Board in June until the next AGM in early October to fill the vacancy left following Paul Dodd’s resignation.

This competition is open to all photographers and includes print and digital sections.

The event will be hosted at Photography Studies College in South Melbourne. There is the opportunity to attend live judging – always a huge amount of value as you can see and hear the judges critiquing each image. Additionally, there is a trade show and the inevitable after party and awards night!

The event runs from 21-23 July but entries are open right now, closing on 3 July! There are some amazing prizes too!

The Graham Burstow Monochrome Prize was established in 2023 in honour of Graham Burstow OAM SAPS PSQA FFRPS FAPS EFIAP – who was one of the founding members of the Australian Photographic Society, and since that time he contributed enormously to the Society and it’s members. He was involved in the establishment of the APS national and international exhibitions. Graham was the APS President from 1982 to 1984, and he was the Print Division Chairman for ten years.

Graham’s stunning photographs are held in many institutions around Australia, including the National Library in Canberra, and HOTA on the Gold Coast. His images show his great passion for street photography, especially in Mono.
