Lord Mayor’s Photographic Awards 2026
Brisbane through the lens of local photographers.
The finalist exhibition of the 2026 Lord Mayor's Photographic Awards brings together striking photographic works that capture the city's spirit — from familiar streets and riverside scenes to the fleeting moments, routines and characters that make Brisbane feel like home.
New this year, the Brisbane Postcards Collection category invites photographers to showcase Brisbane's charm and energy through images that locals recognise, and visitors instantly fall in love with. Selected winning works will be available as collectible postcards at MoB Shop.
Open to anyone who lives, works or studies in Brisbane, the 2026 Awards celebrate what makes our city unique through this year's theme, Everyday Brisbane.
For more information, visit the Brisbane City Council website.
Selected finalist works will also be on display at Brisbane Airport Domestic Terminal for travellers and visitors to enjoy.
Presented in partnership with Brisbane City Council and Major Partner Brisbane Airport.
