The Head On Photo Festival team has been regularly checking updates regarding the coronavirus pandemic, and we are making plans to best protect the public, our artists, volunteers and staff. 

We recognise the extraordinary effort photographers have put into delivering Award entries and preparing exhibitions over recent months and plan to honour and celebrate this by working to create an online Head On Photo Festival and Awards.

This online version of the event will be held as scheduled from 1-17 May and will be accompanied by an exciting program of online seminars and events throughout the Festival period. We will then work to present a scaled-back physical festival later in the year.

At a time when many people will be in isolation, this digital platform will provide our audiences around the world with a variety of exciting artworks, images and activities to engage and interact with. 

At this stage, some smaller galleries in Sydney still plan to present printed exhibitions in association with Head On Photo Festival as scheduled in May 2020, and we will promote these online including in a downloadable Festival catalogue.

We will continue to communicate with artists and galleries about the Festival events in May and later in the year while these plans are being finalised.

With the support of our wonderful sponsors, our devoted team is currently working hard to deliver the best online and physical festival we can, so keep an eye out for updates!

Thank you to everyone for your understanding and support in this difficult and uncertain time.

Stay well,

Moshe Rosenzveig OAM
