LUMIX Playground: The Underrated

Get ready to dive into the raw, creative energy of the streets at LUMIX Playground: The Underrated, an outdoor photo and video jam bringing together photographers, videographers, and creators of all levels.

Hosted by LUMIX and the Australian Creative Collective (ACC) in collaboration with Montana Colors, this event transforms Monster Skatepark into an open playground of sound, movement, and creativity — the perfect backdrop to practice your craft and connect with like-minded creators.

Capture the rhythm of DJs spinning live, the motion of skateboarders and BMX riders in full flight, the energy of breakdancers, and the explosion of colour from live graffiti performances. Every scene is an opportunity to test your timing, sharpen your storytelling, and experiment with new perspectives.

Bring your own gear and get hands-on with LUMIX’s latest camera lineup, ready to test and play. Light refreshments will be provided to keep your creative energy flowing.

Plus, show off your best shots for a chance to win one of five exclusive LUMIX camera straps, awarded for the best captures in each theme: DJ, Skateboarder, BMX, Graffiti, and Breakdance.
