Submissions close midnight 29 September, Australian Eastern standard time unless fewer than 6 photos have been submitted.

Voting will commence on 30 September (if there are 6 or more photos). Voting will take 3 days and close 2/3 October.

The winning photo will be loaded to the actbus.net website and posted to ACT Bus on Facebook and Instagram. The winner and runner(s)-up will also be included in the Photo of the Year vote.
