Photographers are invited to participate in the Inaugural NSW Parliamentary Plein Air Photographic Prize - set up to complement the three year old NSW Parliamentary Plein Air Painting Prize. The topic of the competition is New South Wales landscape in focus.

The Parliamentary Plein Air Photographic Prize is an acquisitive competition offering awards of $10,000, $5,000, $3,000 and the special Clerk of the House Prize of $2,000 (non-acquisitive).

The annual acquisition of these photographic works will form the basis of a Collection of Plein Air photographs to be owned by NSW Parliament for the people of NSW.

A gala event announcing the winners will be held at Parliament House on Thursday 9 September 2010 with Guest of Honour, the NSW Minister for the Arts.

Finalists' works will be exhibited at New South Wales Parliament House from 31 August to 23 September 2010.
