Through My Lens - Photography Challenge

Through My Lens is a regional youth photography challenge, to be launched during Youth Week 2026.

Open to young people aged 12–25 across the Fraser Coast region, the competition will encourage participants to capture the theme “Life Where I Live”.

There is no defined genre, though entrants may like to consider Landscapes, Activities or Hobbies, or Interesting Characters (people and pets) within their community. 

First place, and runner up in each group will receive Fraser Coast Buy Local Gift Vouchers, and overall winning image will also be featured on the cover of the May edition of Island View Connect’s e-magazine.
