The Monash Gallery of Art runs the William and Winifred Bowness Photography Prize. The blurb says:
The Bowness Photography Prize is also one of the country's most open prizes for photography. In the past, finalists have included established and emerging photographers, art and commercial photographers. All film-based and digital work from amateurs and professionals is accepted. There are no thematic restrictions.
The 34 finalists are here. There is some interesting work. My favourite is:
Janina Green, Untitled (Figure at window) from the series Macau 2010, chromogenic print
Janina Green an artist and lecturer in Photography at the Victorian College of the Arts will take up a short residency in the newly renovated Courtyard Studio Flat. Since her first solo exhibition in 1986 she has had an extensive exhibition record producing seven different bodies of work; Reproduction, Still Life, Figure Works, Manual Labour, Vacuum, Plantation and Scooping Up the Moon at Plum Creek, maid in Hong Kong.

Janina is a great artist and teacher. I was fortunate to have her teach me for a short period of time while an undergrad in the late 80's early 90's, before she held her current position @ VCA.
