As part of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence campaign, we’re excited to launch our ‘Picturing Respect’ photography competition in support of Victoria’s ‘Respect Is’ campaign. The 16 Days of Activism campaign, running from November 25th to December 10th, shines light on the prevention of gender-based violence. It’s an opportunity for us all to stand together and champion respect.
Competition details
Theme: We want you to picture respect in a way that is meaningful to you through a lens. Based on Respect Victoria’s ‘Respect Is’ campaign, participants are encouraged to interpret this theme creatively and thoughtfully. For some ideas check out this short video by Respect Victoria.
Last year, we had many entries that pictured what respect meant to staff and students. Check out the winning entries here.
Duration: The competition runs from October 20 to November 10. During this time, entries will be accepted from all members of La Trobe University.
Judging criteria
Entries will be assessed based on the following criteria:
Creativity and Originality of Concept: The ability to convey a unique perspective on respect.
Aesthetic Merit of Photograph: The visual appeal of the photograph.
Clarity of Connection to the Theme: The photograph’s ability to express the essence of “Respect Is.”
Prizes
1st prize: $250 voucher
2nd prize: $100 voucher
3rd prize: $50 voucher
4th prize: $50 voucher
Announcement: The winners will be selected on November 24 and informed by email.
Submission: Participants may submit a single photograph that depicts their interpretation of “Respect Is” with a short description. The quality of the photo matters less than the message it conveys. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have a camera, use your phone! Submit your entry via the button below through Microsoft forms. You must be logged into your university account to access it.
Public display: By participating, all entrants consent to having their photos and short descriptions displayed online during the 16 Days of Activism campaign and at any of our Respect @ La Trobe events on campus, helping to spread the important message of respect to a wider audience.
Terms and conditions: Please view the terms and conditions before entering the competition.
As we support the 16 Days of Activism campaign, let your creative spirit shine through the lens and be part of the positive change that this campaign represents. Together, we can create a more respectful and inclusive La Trobe community.
