‘Timeless Albany’ - Through the Lens of Time: Past, Present and Future

ACCI Business & Community Directory Photography Competition

As Albany approaches its momentous Bicentenary in 2026, we invite you to help us celebrate its remarkable journey – through the power of photography. 

Our 2026 ACCI Business & Community Directory will mark this milestone by showcasing Albany’s story: its deep cultural roots, iconic infrastructure, colonial legacy, and vibrant present – all the way into its future. The theme for this year’s photography competition is ‘Timeless Albany – Through the Lens of Time: Past, Present and Future’. 

We want to see what Timeless Albany means to you. Capture the essence of our region – whether it's a historic landmark, a contemporary scene, or a glimpse of what’s to come. 

The winning photo will take pride of place on the front cover of the 2026 ACCI Bicentennial Edition Business & Community Directory. 

The competition is open for entries until Thursday 4 July.

Get snapping and share your view of Albany’s timeless spirit!
