Competitions

Theme: Snapshot 21

Mooroolbark is undergoing changes rarely seen in one lifetime, let alone all at once! Firstly, the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic has had lasting effects on individuals, businesses and the community for better or worse. And secondly, the major reconstruction of the town centre due to the level crossing removal will see our landscape change forever with a Skyrail and multilevel car park dominating our skyline. Mooroolbark will never be quite the same again. What else is happening in your life at this moment in time?

Snapshot 21 is about capturing life in Mooroolbark NOW, preserving our memories for future generations.

With a strong focus on the creative arts, we encourage your participation in our community competitions, celebrating each and every perspective. Through the use of various media, we will record and document what life is like for us right here and now and have them on display during the festival.
