About the Photo Story;

Every year, the Man From Snowy River Bush Festival Art and Photography Exhibition brings together some of the most exciting artistic talent in North Eastern Victoria and beyond, celebrating the landscapes, legends and stories that define this extraordinary corner of Australia.

Another integral part of the Art and photography exhibition is the Photo story.  Entries in the photo story must include both a photograph and a short story of no more than 200 words.

The current format of the photo story came from a series of community challenges, as bushfires, drought and COVID had an impact on our community. Including the photo story gave community members an opportunity to express the courage and commitment to each other and to ancestors who faced many challengers before us.

Story telling inspires and encourages others, to connect with and share  experiences, good or bad. In the past few years, the MFSR Photo story has received works from such talent that judging was difficult! The inspiration and joy these stories bring to the hundreds of patrons that visit the festival’s Art and Photography Exhibition each year speaks as testament to the quality of the works.

In 2026 the photo story had over 40 pieces from Corryong College showcasing exceptional student talent. Special mention to teachers and families who encouraged student participation,  The festival’s art show committee is hopeful of exceeding these numbers in 2027.
