The concept of appearing on the Honours List is a new one to Moshe Rosenzveig and he is just getting used to the idea.

“I migrated to Australia 35 years ago and it is good to receive acknowledgement for the work I have done here to promote the art of photography” he said.

The Head On Photo Festival gives photographers, both well-known and budding, a chance to exhibit to the public. The judges of the competition are highly qualified, coming from both Australia and overseas. Within a three-week period 150 exhibitions are held, along with workshops and seminars.
