Local History Photography Competition: Your streets, your stories

Join our local history photo competition and help us to preserve the rich history of Port Phillip.

About the competition

At the Port Phillip Heritage Centre, we want to collect and display images that showcase our beautiful municipality and reflect your experience of being here. We welcome a diverse range of perspectives and want these to be kept for years to come, so future generations can see what you love about being in Port Phillip. Whether it is your favourite café, the beautiful foreshore, or a faded sign on the sign of a building, we want to celebrate it all and learn what it means to you.

Winners will be decided by a judging panel in early November, and a people’s choice winner will be decided in December.

We have some great Ghost Signs around the city which shows the history of the buildings.

Images of local places, people and culture are also fantastic as they tell a story of what was happening at the time.
