Nikon-Walkley Australian Press Photographer of the Year

Australian journalism award

The Nikon-Walkley Australian Press Photographer of the Year, or Nikon-Walkley Press Photographer of the Year[1] is awarded to the photographer whose body of work is considered the best in the country for that year. It recognises newsworthiness, impact, technical superiority, creativity and originality in news photography.[2]

The annual Nikon-Walkley Photographic Awards are the highest honour for Australian press photographers. They represent the pinnacle of achievement and are judged by a panel of senior photographers and picture editors across the industry.[citation needed]

It was first awarded in 1969 as a separate award, but in 2000 merged with the Walkley Awards to create the current prize.[citation needed]
