They can be emotional or intriguing. Capturing the everyday or the extraordinary. Shot with the latest pro gear or mum’s old Instamatic. Thoughtfully composed or snapped on the run.Grab sets out to discover what’s different about us. To reveal those defining elements and showcase Australian culture. Participants are encouraged to snap wildly, snap boldly. To go with the moment whenever it occurs. If you impress the esteemed judging panel of professional photographers and a Getty Images photo editor you may be invited to contribute to The Flickr Collection on Getty Images – a prize that could see you selling your photos worldwide.
