Since the inaugural exhibition in 1997, this event has grown in profile and significance. It represents a unique, national initiative in support of documentary photography, providing a rare opportunity to assess the themes, styles and ideas that characterise this fascinating genre. The seventh exhibition demonstrates the breadth of contemporary approaches to documentary practice from traditional black and white narratives through to vibrant colour recordings all of which have been achieved without digital manipulation. Themes range from Victoria’s Black Saturday Bushfires through to ocean swim racing and portraits of people having haircuts.

The CCP DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHY AWARD is presented as part of the Academy Gallery National Exhibition Touring (AGNET) Program. The AGNET Program aims to give Tasmanians the opportunity to see exhibitions and events that they would have to otherwise travel interstate to view.
