The first Australian Camera Magazine awards were run in 1981 when the magazine was called Camera Craft, and there was just one category – The Australian Camera Of The Year (won by the Olympus OM-10 35mm SLR). Subsequently, the number of categories has grown to reflect developments in the industry and the arrival of new technologies. The categories are also revised as new product sectors emerge (such as mirrorless cameras) or others decline (such as compact cameras and DSLRs).
This year the period of eligibility for the Camera Magazine Imaging Awards ran from 1 September 2023 to 31 August 2024, and extended to any product within each of the categories that was released onto the mainstream Australian market during this time.
