A digital photographic competition is being held as part of the Fabric conference.  Australia ICOMOS is concerned with the gradual loss of skills in traditional trades associated with heritage places in Australia. This competition seeks to record and celebrate people involved with the conservation of traditional trades, crafts or other practices. Entrants are required to send a single photograph of tradespersons in the act of making or with a finished product. The photograph should showcase the skill involved in the trade.

Please download the HEROES OF TRADITIONAL TRADES photo competition flyer for more information on the photographic competition submission guidelines. Judges are looking for eye-catching images that reflect the diversity of traditional trades relevant to heritage places in Australia.

 $500 prize money donated by the National Trust of Australia (South Australia)

Please circulate details of the competition to your colleagues.
Entrants do not need to be ICOMOS members and
