Introducing the inaugural Lacrosse Victoria Photo of the Year Awards

Lacrosse Victoria is proud to launch the first-ever Photo of the Year Awards, celebrating the way we see the game, the people, and the moments that define a season.

This is for everyone. Whether you’re on the sideline with a phone or with a lens the length of a lacrosse stick, if you’ve captured something special, we want to see it.

You can enter any photo taken between 15 August 2024 and 15 August 2025.
That includes photos from:

• Last year’s field season finals

• U15 Nationals in Adelaide

• U18 Nationals in Adelaide

• Senior Nationals in Melbourne

• Box lacrosse

• Olympic Sixes

• Major League Sixes

• U10 rounds

• Anything in between - really. If it was lacrosse related and happened between 15/8/24 and 15/8/25 you can enter it.

As long as a Victorian player or community member is in the frame, it counts... no matter where the photo was taken. And since eligibility stretches back to last year, you might already have the winning shot!

You can submit as many photos as you like, but must submit a new entry for each one. You can submit the same photo in multiple categories if you think it crosses over.

• Photo of the Year
  For the most striking, powerful or beautifully timed image.
  This is the main prize and is judged on quality and impact — not just whether it came from a “pro”.

• Amateur Lens
  For non-professional photographers, especially those shooting on phones or simple cameras. It’s about the eye, not the equipment.

• Spirit of Lacrosse
  For the photos that reflect the culture, people, and connection behind the game. It could be quiet, joyful, funny, emotional or all of the above.

• Player’s Choice
  The only category voted on publicly. Finalists will be shared online for the lacrosse community to vote.
