The South Australian Geography Photo Competition 2025 invites students in Years 7-9 to submit one photo which they took themselves in South Australia, alongside a caption (max. 100 words) which describes the photo and its connection to the theme.
In South Australia, weather has a big impact on our way of life. It shapes how we grow food, manage water, respond to bushfires, and plan our towns and cities. From helping produce world-famous wines to powering homes with sun and wind, weather plays a role in everything. This year's theme is Weather Watchers. Students are invited to capture how weather impacts the people and places around them.
