Out From The Mist

Out From The Mist is a photography, short movie, and music competition.

The competition is about mental illness but is also about so much more. It’s about individuals facing challenges to their mental well-being and witnessing the various experiences and responses.

“We are telling our stories because mental illness often makes us feel invisible. For people to create art and put themselves out there for you to see is courageous. It’s about people taking control of their story.” – Michael Lockwood, Founder, Out From The Mist.

This year, the competition will be calling for musical entries, vocal and instrumental, for the first time.

Entries are open from 1st July and close 19th August 2022.
The awards night will be held at 19 Karen Gallery on the Gold Coast on World Mental Health Day, 10th October.
