Overview

Calling all proud Melburnians: you're invited to explore the spirit of Melbourne's inner west in Perspectives of the Inner West— a three-week pop-up photography gallery showcasing the chosen entries of a local photography competition.

The photographs could feature colourful street art, quiet alleys, charming cafes or even quirky characters that locals think make the inner west special. Amateurs and professionals were encouraged to enter and show what they love about the area.

So, how did it work? Entrants were asked to take a picture that they felt captured the area's essence — the subject material beyond that was entirely open to their own interpretation. They uploaded their favourite to an online storage platform (like WeTransfer), and completed the entry form on the site. Entries are being judged by industry professionals, including Chris Cincotta (creator of Melbourne I Love You), portrait photographer Shane Nagle and Julian Hills — the owner (and hatted chef) of local restaurant Navi.

Selected entries will take to the walls of Grazeland Melbourne from Friday, May 12 to Sunday, May 28. Not only will entrants have the chance to show their art to a broader audience, but they'll also get to partake in a celebration of Melbourne's cultural richness. Three snap-happy legends will walk away with prizes — including a $3500 Visa giftcard.

The comp is supported by the historic Bradmill site, the Bradmill Yarraville development on Francis Street. Developed by Frasers Property Australia and partner Irongate, it's set to become a new hive of community and creativity in Melbourne's inner west.

Entry to the competition has officially closed. The gallery begins on Friday, May 12 and runs until Sunday, May 28 at Grazeland Melbourne. For more information, visit the website.
