2023 Environmental Art and Photography 'Competition'

2023 Environmental Art and Photography Competition

We are delighted to share that CREEL will have a new hub within Melbourne Law School. The CREEL Hub will include a wall dedicated to images that showcase places that connect with environmental issues and matter to our work in environmental law.

Help us adorn the CREEL Hub by submitting your original images such as photos, drawings, paintings or craft.

Selected entries could win one of three $100 gift vouchers!

Submission closes on 31 May 2023.

Here is how:

    1. Make a visual image of a place that you think matters to environmental issues or in environmental law. It might be a well-known or little-known place; ordinary or extraordinary; urban or remote; local or global*
    2. In a few sentences, explain the place’s connection to environmental issues or law and why you think it matters.
    3. Send a high-res picture to law-creel@unimelb.edu.au with 'Competition' in the subject line by 31 May 2023.
    4. Entries will be selected to ensure a diversity of places and themes are represented. Prizes will be awarded on the basis of the thoughtfulness of the reflection that accompanies the image, in the view of the judges.

    Selected entries will be collated and displayed on a wall in the new Law School CREEL Hub.
