2012 Photographers' Slide Nights
The Walkley Slide Nights will be back for a fourth year in 2012.
A annual celebration of Australian press photography. It's a chance for photographers to show off personal projects that don't always make it into print, to an audience of peers and photo-lovers.
We welcome work from photographers on any theme - so show us your best work! On the night we vote on the best in show and the winner will receive a prize from our photography sponsor Nikon. More info on our annual Slide Nights will be announced in the coming months and will be found at www.walkleys.com/slidenights
Nikon-Walkley Side Night Internship
The Walkley Foundation is looking for final year photography students with a love of photojournalism to intern with us to work on a few Nikon-Walkley Photography projects throughout the year. Starting with Nikon-Walkley Slide Night in Sydney which will be held on 9 May 2012, the successful intern would work alongside one of NSW’s best photographers and assist them in curating the multimedia slide show that will be viewed at the Slide Show. The internship will require approximately 2 days of your time after submissions close (Friday April 20 2012). For more information and to express your interest please email students@alliance.org.au
