A lone pedestrian leaps through a downpour at the corner of Edward and Adelaide streets in Brisbane\u2019s CBD, an intersection usually heaving with pedestrian traffic.<\/p>\n

Another day, the same roads are captured in the inner city\u2019s early morning glow. The roads are mostly empty, and the streets inhabit a foreign quality.<\/p>\n

Other views are more familiar. The annual Riverfire firework display erupting over the Story Bridge. The afterglow of a Brisbane sunset pitched against the cityscape.<\/p>\n

Beyond the inner-city, Brisbane\u2019s suburban backbone is brought to life; a young girl enjoying a sprinkler and a trampoline on a summer day, neighbours conversing on the front steps of a tin-roofed house.<\/p>\n

These are the winning images captured in this year\u2019s Lord Mayor\u2019s Photographic Awards.<\/p>\n

The 2026 theme \u2013 \u201cEveryday Brisbane\u201d \u2013 invited anyone who lives, works or studies in the city to share their view of Brisbane life.<\/p>\n
