TOPshots
TOPshots is an annual celebration of emerging photomedia artists at MAPh. 2025 will mark the 17th anniversary of this annual award and exhibition, which continues to showcase exceptional photographic work produced by students who have completed the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) subjects of Art Making and Exhibiting, Art Creative Practice and Media, as well as International Baccalaureate (IB) Visual Arts and Vocational Education and Training (VET) Visual Arts.
The artworks displayed in TOPshots are selected by MAPh's curators from a large pool of entries, and represent a small sample of the creative talent in Melbourne’s secondary schools.
As the Australian home of photography, MAPh is proud to have the opportunity to foreground and acknowledge the excellence of young photomedia artists in our community while providing a vital platform for these artists to share and exhibit their work.
