I’m very interested in photography and have only recently built up the courage to try out a competition, i was wondering if there were any up and coming youth competitions?

Hi Mikayla,

Mosman Camera Club has monthly competitions. Their website is www.mosmancameraclub.org.au

They also have workshops and presentations as well. Looks like a pretty good place to try out some friendly competition.
