Best in Show 2025: Australian Photographic Dog Prize

Celebrating the many ways dogs continue to play a central role in our lives. A joyful exhibition and a moving tribute to the loyalty and beauty of dogs through the eyes of talented photographers across the country!

Entries were received from professional and amateur photographers, as well as young photographers (12─18 years old). Over 70 finalists’ photographs are exhibited in four distinct categories ─ dog portraits, dogs and companions, dogs in action, and puppies.

Established by DRG to recognise David Roche’s life in the canine world and Australia’s obsession with dogs, this inaugural prize offers a heartwarming view of our favourite pets and show dogs. Congratulations to all the finalists, take home a fully illustrated exhibition publication, and don’t forget to vote for your favourite photograph in our People’s Choice award!
