Invertebrates – animals without a backbone – are the focus of Up Close + Spineless, the Australian Museum’s unique annual photographic exhibition/competition.
Over 99% of all animal species are invertebrates including insects, crustaceans, spiders, coral, cockroaches, caterpillars…Found on land and sea, in backyards, beaches and the bush, entries highlight interesting animal behaviour, unusual/rare species, and photographic skills.

The Up Close & Spineless competition challenges amateur and professional photographers to capture spectacular images of invertebrates (animals without a backbone). Judging criteria will be based upon clarity of detail, interesting behaviour, aesthetics and composition. The Australian Museum also encourages participants to seek out unusual and rare species.
