Nominations are now open.

The rules:

● two* photographs may be submitted by each member, provided they have not been submitted before

  ◦ * a third photo may be submitted but only where all 3 photos are of a different bus type (type = chassis + body - so a CB80 Scania and a Bustech/VST Scania are considered as different types). Alternatively, a third photo may be submitted if that photo is a new Yutong: Bus number 830 or above.

● photos must be "owned" by the person submitting it (if not, you must have the permission of the photographer to submit the photo - and identify the photographer)

● photos must be have taken legally - ACT Bus does not encourage or condone trespassing

● submitted photographs must prominently feature:

and/or

● photos narrower than 640 pixels (for landscape aspect) will not be accepted

Refer here for full ACT Bus photo submission conditions.

Photos can be submitted by replying to this forum topic and attaching the image; to ensure consistency, photos must be displayed with a width of 640 (or height of 640 if a "portrait" aspect) - photos larger than 640 are required to use the option width=640 or height=640 in the image tag. For example: [img width=640] instead of [img].

To submit photos from Instagram, you must post a reply with a caption and paste the URL of the Instagram image. Photos not publicly visible cannot be submitted. We will not accept unhosted photos - they must be stored on a photo hosting site (such as Instagram, Flickr or Facebook).

Submissions close midnight 30 March 2025, Australian Eastern daylight time (unless fewer than 6 photos have been submitted, in which case a further 24 hours will be allowed).

Voting will commence on 31 March. Voting will take 3 days and close 3 April.

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. By submitting a photo, you are giving permission for it to be loaded onto the ACT Bus Gallery, and Facebook and Instagram pages.
