Snapped: 'Melbourne in a moment'
photography competition
Melbourne Library Service, City of Melbourne
The Snapped photography competition was first held in
2010 with Snapped: Melbourne past and present. The
competition runs biennially, with the 2012 competition
Snapped: Melbourne in a Moment launching in August
2012. The competition aims to stimulate interest in
Melbourne's history, capture images of Melbourne to
share with future generations, and to highlight
Melbourne Library Service as a creative Local History
hub. In 2010 we acquired 190 original images (150
new, 40 old) for the MLS Local History photographic
competition, and in 2012 we acquired 873 new original
images. These are currently being added to picture
Victoria in our name.
