Head On Photo Festival Launch 2025

Kickstart our month-long festival of the arts with music photography and community on the shores of the dazzling Bondi Beach.

Sydney's best creatives come together for Head On's annual festival launch party. The ocean-front Bondi Pavilion becomes the heart of Sydney's art scene as we take you on a journey. You'll watch artistry come to life and stories unfold. You'll meet the amazing artists and curatorial team. And of course you'll unwind with a drink snack and music as we announce the $80000 prize pool and the $5000 inaugural Mayor of Waverley prize for a single exhibition.  

Be the first to know who won the Head On Photo Awards 2025 and get a taste of the photographers redefining visual storytelling.

Join us as we celebrate our 16th year as Australia's leading photography festival.

Secure your ticket to Australia's hottest event in photography where you can experience the power of a global arts platform firsthand and be the first to see the Head On Photo Awards exhibitions.

Whether you're a gallerist collector or photography lover there is something for everyone at our launch party.
