Queensland images feature among the finalists of this year’s Australian Life photography competition.
Run by the City of Sydney, 28 finalists were selected from more than 2400 entries.
Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore said for the first time, eight finalists were from a new category for 12 to 17-year-olds.
“This competition always provides an incredible snapshot of life in our country,” Lord Mayor Moore said.
The Queensland images include a couple of friends in a share house in Brisbane, submitted by (Nur) Aishah Kenton:

Lord Mayor Moore said both amateur and professional photographers could enter the competition, with the winner of the adult category taking home a $10,000 cash prize.
She said the winner from the teenage entrants will be awarded $2,000 in cash as well as an OM System professional pack worth around $2,500.
