National Alpine Museum Australia - call for Olympic and Paralympic stories
National Alpine Museum Australia (NAMA) Mt Buller is an independent volunteer run and operated museum with a focus on the stories of Australia’s alpine regions.
Their latest Touring Exhibition is called ‘Stories from the Games’ and focuses what goes on behind the camera, the big and small stories from athletes, coaches, officials, families and friends as told by a single photo.
Athletes, coaches, photographers, officials, family and members of the crowd are asked to share their Winter Olympic and Paralympic story through a single photograph.
Come behind the scenes and behind the lens and discover the big and small stories from the Games.
“We invite you to contribute (or respond to) a single photo with a story of between 80-200 words that gives an insight into your Winter Olympic or Paralympic story,” said museum curator Michelle Stevenson.
“The aim is for visitors to experience the Games in a way that’s different to what they see in the media and is highly personal and engaging.”
A photographic exhibition that can be displayed either physically or digitally at ski resorts across Australia during the 2026 Winter.
Inspiring the new generation and getting people excited to participate in winter sports.
How to contribute: Send your photo and story to NAMA Curator Dr Michelle Stevenson curator@nama.org.au by Thursday 4th June or Friday 26th June.
If you didn’t take the photo and it’s come from a press photographer let us know so we can sort out the rights.
And the other good news from the museum is that the Chairlift Talks will again be happening this season throughout June - July and August.
Join the visitors and volunteers at the museum each Thursday night to hear guest speakers on their times and experiences on Mt Buller. Further news to follow next issue.
