My Backyard Photo Competition invites photos from Festival delegates of their backyards, past or present. From childhood tree houses, cubbies and swinging tyres to urban balconies, manicured lawns and rural estates. My Backyard Photo Competition celebrates the diversity of our backyards.

Simply send us a photo of your backyard to go into the draw to win a hot air balloon ride for 2, thanks to AILA’s Principal Corporate Partner Lappset.

  1. Submit your photo as a JPG (at least 1MB) of your backyard to [email protected] with your name and location by Wednesday 12 October

  2. Winner will be chosen at random and notified by 14 October

  3. All submitted photos with credits will be projected on the big screen at the Not In My Backyard Film Screening on Friday 28 October at the National Museum of Australia

By submitting your photo, you give AILA permission to screen with credits at the Not In My Backyard Film Screening on Friday 28 October. The hot air balloon ride is for Canberra only and may be utilised during the Festival period (subject to availability) or a gift voucher will be issued (must be redeemed within 12 months).
