Competition Entries

Entries must include an image of an aircraft flying in or out of the Gold Coast. Preference will be given to photos which showcase not only the aircraft, but also the beautiful Gold Coast and northern NSW regions. Judges will be looking for creativity, originality and photographers who think outside the box!

On The Day

The top 10 entrants, selected by the GCA judging panel (comprised of our Aviation and Executive Management team) will gain exclusive airside access and enjoy a morning of photographing aircraft movements at GCA on Friday 11 July 2025. Breakfast will be supplied.

The Prize!

The airside winners will then submit their top five photos taken on the day of the airside visit, to be judged by the GCA panel again - with the best photo on the day, from each age category, winning a $1000 voucher to spend at Camera House.
