Clear your calendars and charge your cameras, crew—the biggest photography festival of the year is back. Sony’s Scene Festival has landed, serving up 100+ photography and filmmaking events across Australia and New Zealand, running now until the end of October.
Oh, and every event you attend? It scores you a shot at an all-expenses-paid photo adventure in Italy. Yep, we’re talking pasta, piazzas, and your camera.
How To Score A Trip To Rome
Picture this: you, your camera and the cobblestone streets of Rome as your subject. This could be your reality, just for attending this epic festival. Pretty sweet deal right? All you have to do is book and attend any event at Scene Festival, and you’ll be entered into the running to win one of five all-expense-paid sojourns to Italy.
What You Need To Know About The Festival
New to Scene Festival? It’s designed for photographers and filmmakers of every level—yep, even if you’ve never picked up a camera before, there’s a spot for you. The festival creates spaces to unleash your creativity through workshops held both online and in person, led by pros who’ll guide you through everything from wildlife photography, nailing your wedding photography and editing hacks to cinematic challenges.
But if you can only make one event, let it be SceneScape (20–21 September). Back for its second year and taking over Sydney’s White Bay Power Station, this multi-day creative feast is stacked with talks, panels and masterclasses featuring big names like filmmaker Tania Verbeeck, photojournalist Matthew Abbott, creator Jayson Robertson and more. Dive into hands-on workshops—think sports photography to documentary-making—and test drive the latest Sony gear while you’re at it. The vibe here is truly electric, so prepare to be inspired.
Kickstart your photography journey, level up your craft and hang out with a community of like-minded creators—this is your moment. The more events you attend, the more chances you’ll have to win a trip to Rome.
