Youth Photography Competition | Need a Lift?

Celebrate positive mental health by capturing a photo of something uplifting, positive or joyful in your life or community.

This photography competition is for young people aged 12-24 who live, work or study in the Northern Sydney area. 

To celebrate positive mental health we're asking you to capture a photo of something uplifting, positive or joyful in your life or community. Selected photos will be showcased in the elevators of Health & Council facilities as well as social media during Mental Health Month in October. 

There will be 6x Westfield vouchers up for grabs with values of up to $350.

To enter, upload an original photo and tell us why this photo is uplifting to you in the description box in 50 words or less. All the eligible entries will be displayed and the photo with the most 'likes' will win a Westfield gift card.

Be sure to tell all your friends and family to vote in the People's Choice Competition in October for Mental Health Month!
