FOCUS 2027

The FOCUS Photographic competition runs from 1 February to 31 March, with the theme changing each year.

The purpose of this annual competition is to grow the photographic history collection of Birtwistle Local Studies Library. It is designed to capture aspects of the City of Armadale and all of its suburbs as it looks today, and to encourage donations of historic photos for viewing by future generations.

Full details about the theme for 2027 will be available in December 2026.
