How You Could Become The Next Face Of Sydney Festival

If you consider yourself the stud of your friend group and think your face deserves to be on billboards, well, be ready to back that up, because Sydneysiders are being given the opportunity to feature as one of the cover options for the 2017 Sydney Festival magazine.

"This year we want the people who enjoy Sydney Festival to be the face of it, by submitting their own pictures," festival director Wesley Enoch said.

"The Festival has always been about the people who enjoy Sydney in summer, whether from far afield as international visitors or as close as Parramatta; from all cultural backgrounds; young or old; art lovers or thrill seekers.

"Sydney Festival reflects the hopes, ambitions, dreams and sense of fun of being in a large modern city when it's time to come out and play. These days everyone has access to technology to be a maker in their own right. Everyone is shooting pictures, making movies, 3D printing, writing blogs. This competition is a chance to show off your skills with a camera, a chance to put yourself out there to the world."

To help with those pesky camera-shy nerves, winners of the competition will also receive a Sydney Festival Gold Pass (granting entry to five show in the 2017 festival) and tickets to the official launch party.

Entrants can apply as many times as they like before it closes at midnight on Thursday, 18 August. The winners will be announced at the end of the month.
