IWRN27 PHOTO COMPETITION
Open
Now!
Her Lens
Her Work. Her Country. Her Knowledge. Her Power.
Are you an Indigenous woman ranger based in Australia, with a story to tell?
Well now is the best time to tell us! The Indigenous Women Ranger Network (IWRN) is hosting a photo competition for the 2027 forum. While technology is an important part of the work rangers do on Country, it is also an important tool for unleashing creativity and expressing what being an Indigenous woman ranger in Australia means to YOU. IWRN is excited to present this national opportunity for the spotlight to be shone on the women that make caring for Country so connected, crucial, and full of community.
Entries close 11 January 2027 (midnight AEST).
Her Lens Categories
There are four categories in this competition:
Her Work
Her Country
Her Knowledge
Her Power
Work, Country, Knowledge, and Power look different for every Indigenous woman ranger.
We would love your photos to show what these topics mean in your community, family, and workplace. What does Country look like to you, is it a sunset over the mangroves? Does Work look like a team on the ground, working with the community, or upskilling? Do you see Knowledge in working with the younger generation, or is it in learning drones for monitoring? Is Power a community in numbers, or do you feel it from a particular ranger you know?
Every community group is different and every part of our beautiful Country is unique. IWRN invites you to join us as a community, celebrating the planned shots, the candid shots, and the recorded memories that make being an Indigenous female ranger so uniquely special.
