Submissions close midnight 26 June, Australian Eastern standard time, unless fewer than 6 photos have been submitted.

Voting will commence on 27 June. Voting will close 30 June/1 July.

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.
