The winning entries in the 2021 Picturing Footscray Photography Prize have been announced, with votes still open on the people’s choice award.

‘Every Which Way’ by Sally Coggle took out the $3000 first prize, with second prize of $1000 going to ‘Everything is fine’ by Jake Lowe.

Third prize of $500 went to ‘Borderline’ by Mark Davidson and ‘Lucky Dip’ by Sarah Gardiner picked up the $500 student prize.

Established in 2016, Picturing Footscray is a free open-entry photography prize that focuses on the multi-layered inner-west suburb.

Judges look for the images with high artistic merit and a subject matter that best captures and celebrates the Footscray community.

Held online this year, the exhibition opening and prize announcement took place last Thursday night.

The virtual exhibition remains online until December 9, when the People’s Choice prize will be awarded.
