Wind bending grass. Water running through a creek. Wildlife moving across Country. Clouds gathering, tides shifting and people caring for the land.
Lands in Motion invites young photographers to step outside, get curious and capture the way the WA Rangelands move, change and come alive.
Let's Celebrate the Land.
The Lands in Motion Photography Competition celebrates the United Nations International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists 2026. Through photography, you can explore the landscapes, people and practices that shape your rangelands and share the stories you discover, with the world. Here are some ideas to help you get started:
Wind
Grasses bending, leaves dancing or dust lifting from a track.
Water
A flowing creek, waves rolling in or rain splattering the land.
Wildlife
Birds in flight, insects at work or animals on the move.
People
Caring for Country, working on the land or moving through it.
Weather
Clouds building, light shifting or a storm approaching.
Change
New growth, worn rocks or signs of the landscape transforming.
See where curiosity can take you.
One of the fantastic prizes is an annual family pass to Scitech, with a full year of discovery, experiments and big ideas.
Winning images may also be featured in the 2027 Rangelands NRM calendar, at the WA Museum Boorla Bardip and in other publications.
