2023 Victorian Fellows essay and photography prizes
In 2023 the Victorian State Committee have decided on a single theme for all State awards - Efficiency in the age of sustainability.
The theme considers the changing world we live in the challenges we face regarding access to broad societal resources. Our Fellows were encouraged to consider this theme through their own unique lens, whether that be in their practice, their community, or their family.
