A platform for emerging photographers, stylists and image makers.
Australian creative minds have always been at the forefront of our developing culture; an integral part history, social change and cultural conversations.
The arts, cultural and fashion industries contribute $122.3 billion to the Australian economy. The fashion industry alone contributes $27.2 billion. These critical sectors uplift all Australians.
As a platform and voice for creative minds, we are proud to be running our third Creative Showcase. This is an opportunity for image makers: stylists, photographers and creators to have their creative work platformed and championed within the industry and beyond.
We are calling out for aspiring and established image makers to enter a six-to-eight-page fashion or beauty editorial for consideration by a panel of judges; each a leading expert in their field.
A shortlist of 20 finalists will be selected by these judges and featured on RUSSH.com. From these, three winners will be selected. Each of these three winners will have their work featured in print in the March issue of RUSSH Magazine, in addition to receiving prizes from our key partners.
Our Creative Showcase honours RUSSH's core purpose; nourishing our community of creative minds and championing fresh talent. This initiative aims to provide emerging creators with the platform and the scope they need to flourish.
