Awards

The People’s Choice Award will be decided by vote on CVA’s social media

The Lyn Beazley Encouragement Award acknowledges students who demonstrate a connection with Australia’s biodiversity and show promise in their ability to express themselves through photography. *Students who identify with a disability or learning difficulty are eligible for this award.

Lyn was Western Australia’s Chief Scientist from 2006 to 2013 and has been a long-time ambassador and judge in the Chevron Focus Environment Competition. She believes that the photographic lens can help inspire people to protect Australia’s precious environment.
