Newcastle Airport is calling on photographers across the region to put their best shots forward, with a new competition inviting locals to capture what makes the Hunter, Central Coast and Mid North Coast home.
The Show the World Our Home photography competition has launched to coincide with World Photography Week and this year’s global theme of “Home”.
The competition is open to photographers of all ages, with entries encouraged to showcase the people, places and everyday experiences that make the region special.
From coastal wildlife and iconic Newcastle landmarks to vineyards, sporting moments and hidden local gems, the competition is looking for authentic images that tell the story of the region through the eyes of the people who live here.
Entries can be submitted across five categories: Junior, Youth, Community, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, and Aviation. Each category winner will receive a $500 Newcastle Airport travel voucher, while shortlisted images will also be eligible for a People’s Choice Award, with another $500 travel voucher up for grabs.
The winning and shortlisted photographs could also become part of Newcastle Airport’s visual showcase, with images set to be displayed throughout the terminal, featured across its digital and social media channels and included in a dedicated exhibition celebrating the diversity and beauty of the region.
Entries for Show the World Our Home are open now and close on Sunday, 18 October 2026. Entry details, categories and competition information are available through Newcastle Airport’s World Photography Day competition.
