Exhibition and display

Finalists in the 2023 Lions Eye Institute Eye to Eye Photographic Competition will have their work exhibited in the Photographic Competition exhibition.

When: Wednesday 13 March to Wednesday 3 April, 2024
Where: Harry Perkins Building foyer, 6 Verdun Street, Nedlands WA 6009 (google map here)

Due to the large number of high quality entries received each year, only the finalists, as selected by the judges, will be displayed as part of the exhibition.

Finalists will be notified via email by Wednesday 21 February 2024 and if their original entry image isn’t sufficiently high resolution, they will be requested to place a high resolution copy of their image into a share folder by Friday 23 February 2024. The share folder will be free of charge to use and the Lions Eye Institute will provide instructions on how to access the site. The Lions Eye Institute will then print, mount and take all artworks to the Harry Perkins Building for the exhibition. The Lions Eye Institute will retain the prints of finalist entries for ongoing display in our clinics.

The award presentation ceremony will take place in March 2024 at the Harry Perkins Building foyer. All finalists will be invited, with one guest, to attend this event for the announcement of the winners.
